The rain finally cleared by 3:00 PM. At that time Justin and I decided to take the bus down to the mall to see if I could get my phone working and to get Justin a phone. We were 10 minutes early at the bus stop and of course took the wrong bus.
So we got off in Port Jefferson, to the north-east of Stony Brook. Heck, it was a nice opportunity to explore around and the bus driver charged us the student price (50 cents less). I got an iced tea at a nearby bakery in order to get change for the bus. Port Jefferson looks nice. Lots of restaurants; seafood and pizza mainly. I think I also found the Ferry port.
Without a watch or clock we headed to the nearest bus station and waited for the bus again. It came soon, but this time we had to pay the full price ($1.50) :-(.
Alas, we got to Smith Haven Mall! Sadly we got off the bus to early and had to walk to the "real" mall. At this point I really needed to return the iced tea I had earlier to the place that saw it grow. Walking inside the Smith Haven Mall a mid-east-looking guy in a kiosk asked Justin "if he knew about the war in Israel". Apparently Justin has a hard time being rude to people so he agreed on trying a hand lotion.
We walked in the direction of the restrooms but those were out of reach because of construction. Finally I got to relief myself in the Food Court, that is, in the bathroom close to it.
We got to the Sprint store and each of us got what we were looking for. So everything was worth it.
Today I learned which bus stop takes you to Port Jefferson and which one takes you to the Smith Haven Mall. Tomorrow, groceries again...
