we’re back and we love it. today we spent the entire day, well most of it, at chatuchak weekend market. the market, one of the third largest in the world, spanned so many blocks, robbie and i could not count them all. we both bought a t-shirt and i found a dress for india. (it’s best to wear sleeves and clothing below the knees there.)
we tasted so much fantastic food–worlds above the food in cambodia. we had fresh fried spring rolls, a papaya salad with crab, fried sausage, coconut ice cream served in a coconut, and a couple other things i can’t remember.
we took the subway back from the market today and then we had to walk about 2 1/2 miles to get back to our hotel. a small park was along our way and thais were running, dancing, and lifting weights in this tiny park. the fountains were back lit and it was beyond romantic. we enjoyed getting lost in there.
tomorrow, i’m going to be taking a cooking class–it includes a trip to the market and preparing five dishes. for anyone that’s up for it, i’ll try making you some thai food when i get back.
