Craig got up early and went for a ride with a cycling group. He just did 18 miles since he's been off for a few weeks. I really want to get out for a run but don't know my way around yet so might have to start with the treadmill. He is definitely more confident/aware of the layout of the city than I am!
Craig's work arranged for us to take an "all day" tour of Singapore today. This was to show us where to shop, how to do certain things, and just get the lay of the land. It might have been awesome if we hadn't had the kids with us! I did find where a post office is that I can manage and a few more grocery stores, too. We also learned about buying parking tickets in advance at the gas station or 7-11 to avoid getting fines for not having pre-paid parking. This was good info to have! We had lunch on a neat little street in Holland Village (I wanted to move there!), and went up to Woodlands to see that in a little more detail, too. We stopped to see the Merlion and the Chinatown wet market, too. Craig started to feel nauseous so we decided to call it quits before we got to Little India and we were home around 2 PM. This is actually longer than I had anticipated making it!
We rested at home for a while and a big thunderstorm came through. Then it was time to go to Terri's house for dinner. It was a a really nice evening. The kids had fun playing with Terri's 8th & 10th graders and we got to see their really cool apartment and have a good home-cooked meal. (To be fair, I made some really good pancakes this morning for breakfast, but I haven't had much success in the kitchen partially due to lack of ingredients since I haven't gone for a real trip to the store yet!) Since it had rained and probably also because it is Saturday night, we had a hard time getting a taxi to and from Terri's. We managed to get one both times though and it all worked out OK.
Terri & her kids will come to our apartment on Thursday for Thanksgiving dinner. Thank goodness I found out about SAS catering for our dinner because it wasn't going to happen with that microwave we've got in the kitchen!
