We start on an overcast and very cold (4oC) Fortunately, in the way the sun broke through the clouds and timidly the thermometer rises to 8oC. We arrived in Kingston, just in time for the turn of the tide. We anchored in the river bottom before the railway bridge, and it goes to explore the city, which she also received a program of reclamation of the old center. But, as y '5 years, the same shops are half abandoned the premises are empty and the only ones who prosper are the restaurants. The downtown is dying, it must be mild a shopping mall in the corner ...
As y 'five years, we began to research a grocery store, supposedly to 1 kilometer, according to some guides. And like 5 years ago, we did not find it. Listening to my heart, this time, it takes major step and we stop at the information desk, which is certainly better than asking the premises. (One to indicate the direction East, and his companion, to indicate the direction West ...)
Muni, a map of the city, it turns on and 45 minutes later we arrive at a convenience store! Another 20 minutes later we arrive at a bakery as indicated by the tourist office ... the only problem is the door's closed, there is a sign offering to sell kitchen equipment and furniture for the dining room. Are chairs for $ 5 you interested in? In
Retracing our steps, we see a parking lot behind a placard with''''Fruits & Vegetables, a small (real) store with fruits and vegetables, meats and cheeses cut and all at prices as good as in supermarkets. The shop is run by Latinos and strangely, the local tourist office does not seem to know of its existence ... In summary, Kingston, There are (now) a grocery store, not 1 km, but rather to 4 kilometers.
