A Hot Flea Market

Getting an icy treat. I pass because I don't know what water was used to make the ice.

I think today is the hottest day yet. It only hit 99 degrees but I think the fact we spent 2 hours walking around a big flea market, going in and out of the sun in crowds is what did me in. They set this flea market up twice a month in the village of Na Klang which is about 5 miles from our house. I really enjoy walking with my two granddaughters holding my hands. I think some the locals assume they are my kids which makes me feel younger. Came back to the restaurant, had a big bowl of hot Thai soup (nothing like hot soup on a hot day) and laid down in front of a fan for a nap. Even though the fan is blowing hot air it helps to cool me a bit. When I woke up an hour later I ate two big bowls of shaved ice with flavoring and that really helped. 

Yes, those are very sharp knives within easy reach of the kids.

By the way, when you are a tall person in a country where most people are much shorter you have to do a lot of ducking. Tents, wires, door frames, tin roofs and much more all present an ever present challenge and danger. My poor head is missing some skin already. There is one door in the house that I will tape some foam on the top frame because it has gotten me twice already.

If it is made of plastic it is for sale here.
