Maps and things

 Now that I have a car, I am expected to drive!  Driving down here is completely different than in Maryland or Philadelphia.  First, everything is backwards.  The steering wheel is on the wrong side, as is she shift, turn signal, and speedometer(not that there are speed limits here).  There are also no road signs, no stop signs, no painted lines in the road, and no warnings for things such as large cow crossings.  People also really enjoy slamming on their breaks after a blind turn to talk to their friend/neighbor/family member, and they might repeat this stopping for every person they pass for a 2 mile drive.  Parking lots seem to be the hardest thing for me, becasue I am not used to pulling in spots from the wrong direction!  The other trouble I am having is actually getting the car on.  The poor car is doing nothing wrong, but I cannot seem to figure out which direction to turn the key.  Everything here is backwards, so the normal right tighty lefty loosy is opposite, and I just have not been able to get a handle on it yet.  Oh well, people will see me driving down the street with my window wipers on because I am turning...at least they will know it is me!

Anyways, the top map is the drive from my apartment complex to the grocery store.  I thought you all might like some maps of where I am driving.  Up where B is located is where IGA is, our grocery store.  That is also the location of the Spiceland mall, the most pitiful mall I have ever seen.  They have a smoothy store, and a mini linens and things, so that is all I need!
Below is a map of the first route I took with my car, driving it back from the dealership.  The dealership was up in the mountains, so it was a bit of a scarier drive.  As you can see there is not very many roads around, so at least you cannot get lost!

And lastly, here is a map of how I would go about getting to the school.  It is a quick route, but there are a ton of bumps that make it a slow drive.  Above my purple route you can see the main road of Grenada, and the only straight highway on the whole island.  It has 4 lanes and is a big deal!
