JILL GETS ON THE BUS FT.Lauderdale, Florida
|
Our mission today was to find Sailorman. Sailorman is a unique marine store, in Ft. Lauderdale, that sells new and used boating gear. We needed new boat fenders, some lines (rope), and other odds and ends for Shibumi. Other boaters along the docks told us, "To get to Sailorman you have to tranfer from the Route 11 bus to the Route 1 bus." Jill really seemed to beam at the idea of changing buses to get to a destination. That is about when I realized that Jill had never riden on a city bus before. Today's outing would be a brand new adventure for her. |
I grew up on New York City buses and really don't look forward to the bussling crowds and the herky-jerky bus drivers. But I must admit watching Jill enjoy today's journey was fun. She was fascinated by little things... the all day passes we bought for $2.50... the bicycle riders who attached their bikes to the front of the bus and got on for the easy transport across town... and the pull-cord used to signal the driver that you want to get off at the next stop... |
