Speedy Delivery

Last week we had the very exciting experience of purchasing a fridge. The one that came with the apartment had some annoying problems so we couldn't wait to purchase one that actually worked for us, especially one that could retain cool for quite a long time with the power cuts. We found the perfect two-door model that stands about 4 feet tall! How's that for super size? Oh, but wait, it gets better.

Since we have no vehicle, we asked the store to deliver it to our home after about an hour. We were still shopping on our way home when this random little man came up to us in a store saying, "Freeez." We thought he was a beggar saying, "Please," so we acted like we weren't interested. Again, he said, "Freeez," and handed P.J. a paper. Again, we said, "No," when we realized he was actually saying, "Fridge!" He was very early for his delivery, but he spotted us on the side of the road. Still, it gets better.

Lizzy walked with him to where the fridge was sitting on the side of the road, and then the guy proceeded to put the fridge on his back using a head strap. He walked behind Lizzy the rest of the way to our house and up three flights of stairs with a fridge suspended from his head! It was absolutely amazing and ended a very exciting day in an exciting way.
