Today we walked to a local market. It was amazing what they had to sell. And also amazing what they actually eat, or at least for this meat and potatoes midwesterner! Marshall thought everything was really cool and of course Madelyn was grossed out. Some of the most interesting finds included dried black ant that you use in soup (of course!), live scorpions, dried seahorse, dried star fish, snakes and then some more snakes (these were alive - yuck), fish, chickens, turtles, and about everything else imaginable. There were a lot of dried roots and dried flowers which they added to soups or teas. Madelyn wasn't too happy about walking by the booths where they were hacking up the chicken and fish - of course I wasn't either! It was very interesting though and we enjoyed it.
This afternoon our guide picked up all the Visas for the babies. It was great to finally have this last piece of paper. We can now bring Raegan into the United States.
We spent quite a bit of time packing today. Shawn was afraid we wouldn't get everything into the suitcases. Yes, we did purchase a few things while here! But I assured him they would all fit and I was right. We didn't even have to sit on the suitcases to zip them!!
We had one last dinner with our friends (Andy, Cindy, and their beautiful daughter Nicole) at Lucy's Restaurant and it was off to bed.
