Day 022 of Our Winter: This morning, three of us squeezed into a tuk-tuk and headed to the area near the Nugegoda Station. The main area of the city is a few kilometers away from this Mirihana-area house.
The area near the bus station has an old municipal market. Although people often stop in supermarkets nowadays, it was still quite busy at these stalls. It's possible to buy less common types of fruits and vegetables. It's the type of place that is colorful and unique. I prefer this to the uniform sameness of a Keel's or Cargills.
I did my best to follow Jay and his sister at a distance so as to not affect price negotiations. Actually as Jay's sister often stops, she knows specific sellers and so my presence wouldn't have made any difference.
We also walked to a pharmacy and also to a large Keel's Supermarket too. Along the way, we stopped at a place that sells soft-serve soya ice cream cones. I can remember the same place from at least twenty years ago. Today though, we had combo vanilla and banana flavored ones.
The traffic near the intersection was really crowded and it took a while to use the PickMe rideshare app to get a tuk-tuk to get us home. It was fun being out. It seemed like much more of an effort than it sounds.
