River Market
We had another little adventure this morning coutesy of our landlord Khun Seri (his wife is visiting her family so he's alone for the weekend). He picked us up bright and early this Sunday morning and took us to a river market. It was a small market with lots of vendors- mostly food right along the river. We all enjoyed the boat ride, trying lots of new treats (like fried bananas with butter sauce, unknown meat meatballs, and other sweets and fried things and drinks with no American equivalent!) and checking out some fish and turtles. We noticed something looking suspiciously like bird bills on a grill and Tom deciphered the Thai on the sign advertising "Duck Mouths." We were trying to figure out what part of a duck bill is edible! It was a fun little trip and we started so early that we were back home and had the girls cooling off in the pool by 10:00!

Claire and her friend Khun Seri.
Eliza fascinated by the snails. She called them "ponytails" (she calls toenails and fingernails "ponytails" too).
Claire had fun holding the turtles but as you can see from her face, she was a little nervous too!

Candice, we just got back for the elder's retreat and I was missing you so I came to check out the blog. I haven't visited in a while and I loved all the great pictures. I also really like the post of little things about living in Thailand. Feel loved and missed.
