Busy day today. The group met this morning to pool our gifts for the Nannies, the Orphanage and the Director. We then spent a few hours together shopping for things for the orphanage. On our walk over to the FIVI mart we happened upon a dead rat on the sidewalk, not something I see on my suburban street in Brantford for sure. Unfortunately I did not snap a picture.
Tonight for dinner Kathy and I grabbed a taxi and went back to the Old Quarter. After a great meal at the Little Hanoi restaurant we wandered the crowded, noisy streets, enjoying the atmosphere and checking out the variety of goods available. Chickens walking around on the street are not uncommon. Small dogs playing on the sidewalk add extra entertainment. The shop vendors pushing their wares all add to the experience. We ended up on shoe street, a street where every shop sells shoes, other streets are known for what they sell. Next time back I am going to look for Purse street.

Shoe street... boy do I need shoes and I can't find any here! I think it is now only hours until you get to meet Macy! I am thinking it is around midnight here tonight, right???
Praying for the time to pass quickly until then.
