Joel, it's NOT monk feeding

Email from Shona;

 

having a fabulous time!!! - in between the enormous challenges :-0

here you'll see the fabulous night markets where we usually eat,

 

 

also the morning market, where everything live is on display. 

 

The photo of emile sitting on the ground with the tiny cages..there are two tiny birds in each one of these. [image on its way] 

 

Later when we passed a hen and her chicks free ranging in the streets Emile said with love... 'they are so tiny..... I could eat it all down in one go'

 

 

 

dragon spotto at the temples is popular, as is feeding the fish at the tanks by the palace (as opposed to 'feeding the monks' as Joel calls the ceromonial procession of alms giving in the morning! We have only been once so far as joel will protest at 6am in bed with 'I don't want to feed the monks' )

 

 

tuk tuks are great fun and on the weekend the children in our street are home from school and can play.

 

 

Joel enthusiastically learns new phrases when he needs them. On our first day when he tried out 'sa ba dee' to a young girl walking down the street he burst with happiness when she replied. he beamed 'she answered me'.. so I didn't tell him that she had actually said 'something to buy?' 

 

 

love to all
