Let's WALK to the grocery store!

Go down the street, Headland Dr., and turn left.

Follow this road until you see the beach
off to your left and turn left.

Walk past the row of golf carts
(each costing $130,00 US dollars) and turn right.

Wait! - Before turning right, take a look
at the BEACH through the trees.

After a 10 minute walk.
You have reached the Plaza and are ready for shopping.
Turn right and go to the back of the plaza.
Fusion is the name of the store
for grocery shopping.

Next time you can take the bus,
if you wish,
but walking is oh so nice!
HAPPY SHOPPING!
