Stop and Shop

There's actually a store here in Monrovia called 'Stop and Shop' BUT you can also stop and shop when you pull up to a red light!

Vendors walk between the cars selling anything from boxes of kleenex, windshield wipers, dog leashes - which is interesting because I've never seen anyone here walk a dog - to water, or as they say 'wata', in sachets - which are like sandwich sized plastic bags filled with water.
Look down this row of cars and you can see 3 different vendors. They really have to watch the traffic and lights so that they can get back to the side of the road when the light turns green.

Here's a young boy selling cookies or what they call 'biscuits'.  Elder Berrett and I buy a biscuit every Wednesday on our way to teach our Marriage Prep Class.  

These biscuits cost 20 Liberian Dollars.  That makes them about $.25 US.  They are not as sweet as a cookie but really quite good.

Why you can even buy a Christmas tree - already decorated - while you sit in you car at a red light.  Talk about convenient!  Who wouldn't want one of these beautifully decorated trees?  This could really make Christmas shopping so much easier - you could do it all from the convenience of your car.
