Good Friday Ride With Friends

We had a bit of good news on Good Friday. Friends of ours that now live on Antigua in the winter called us on the phone asking us out to lunch and a movie. This was a welcome break from all the bad things that we had had happening to us of late. They picked us up at the dinghy dock and we were off to the other side of the island where the cineplex is. Once in Antigua's capital city of St. Johns they started looking for a place to eat. We drove all over the St. Johns area checking on all their favorite restaurants only to find them closed. Well after all it was Good Friday. As the frustration built they joked that we might end up having to settle for popcorn at the movie theater. Which would have been fine with Pam and I. As we were driving from one closed restaurant to another Pam noticed that we had passed a Subway that she said looked like it was open. Ignoring that our friends felt we could do better than that by continuing on a quest to find one of their favorite restaurants open. This went on for all tolled about forty five minutes when finally our friends asked Pam where that Subway was. To which Pam replied, "I don't know, I don't know where I am now let alone how we get back to the Subway". After thinking about it some more we figured it was near the second Chinese restaurant that we had checked which got us close. Then were able to find it by driving from one Chinese restaurant to the other as we had before and there it was Subway! Thank goodness for those capitalists at Subway, otherwise we would have just had popcorn and a movie. After our taste of the good old USA, for Pam and I at least, we were off to the movie theater. And of course I had popcorn, can't go to the movies without popcorn.
