Adventures at the JUMBO!

JR and I were both going through major jet-lag today. I slept until almost 11 am. JR woke up around 3:30 am, was up for awhile, then rested until about 7 am, then took a nap in the afternoon. It is crazy how your body senses that your sleep cycles are off!

Today's main goal was to get groceries. I went to the grocery in Den Helder yesterday with Fenny, and thought I was ready for the challenge. However, the grocery in Bolsward was very busy, and none of the products had both Dutch and English (in Den Helder, I noticed a lot of English on products). JR and I had to look like the most clueless people ever!

Our first item was to get deli meat. As you all know, I am really weird with meats, and did not want to end up with sliced rabbit or duck or something equally as gross. We looked at the packages forever, and finally decided on what we thought was turkey (after looking up the word in the dictionary it ended up being chicken-and we are okay with that). Selecting cheese took equally as long. Swiss was easy to pick out, so I thought we should go with that. However, JR is more picky, and ended up getting a "'young Belgian '' and it is delicious!

We wanted fresh fruit and veggies, but you had to weigh them, enter some code, and take them to check out. We decided it would be best not to try our hand at this, and purchased fruits already packaged! Everything else was okay. We just looked at pictures on the products to make a selection.

When we were checking out, the cashier did not speak English, which caused a funny scene. I think she was asking us if we wanted our receipt, but who knows! JR and I were like "English?" and she just looked at us funny and kept speaking Dutch!

Ahh the drama of the Jumbo supermarket!
