Because we go so often, we don't need to worry about having too much to carry.<br /><br />Only twice now, in two years, have I had to take the cart the two blocks to our house, and I assure you, it's somehow an excruciating experience. Louder than you'd imagine, and you can feel the stares. But whaddya gonna do?<br /><br />So hang in there, and don't let the American car obsession make you drive anywhere you'd be embarrassed to tell a European about.

The groceries are too heavy/many to carry and they will melt/spoil. So far those are the only excuses I've needed. But you're so inspiring, maybe someday I'll breakdown and try it!Mamadallamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08265663963219694459noreply@blogger.com
