Many of the taxis are fueled with Compressed Natural Gas. They have lots of signage saying they are a clean vehicle. The other day we were taking a cab that needed to fuel up, so the driver pulled into a fueling station. The attendant was a cute girl in a uniform that included red short shorts and a gold colored top, not metallic, just plain fabric. The fuel was 24.5p per liter, which comes to about $2.18 per gallon. The down side is that the pressurized fuel tank takes up most of the trunk, which was why we couldn't get the mattress in the trunk the other day. Truck diesel is selling for about $3.16 per gallon, car diesel is $3.42, and regular unleaded is around $4 a gallon.
It was too hot to walk to the gym today, so we took a tricycle, which was just as well, because it started to rain just as we got to the gym, and if we had walked, we would have gotten soaked. It is the rainy season here. I was moving slowly this morning, so the instructor left just as we got there. Grace asked the weight lifter types to show her how to do the exercises on our cards. We managed to get through all our exercises. We took a tricycle to the market and got veggies for lunch, and took a tricycle home.
All my digestive system issues are resolved and I'm back to normal.
Happy 21st Birthday to Joan and Jackie.
