Oct 27--early evening

We have been out all day, so we just came back for a short rest and A/C to cool off before going out for supper.

We did a 2 hr long tail boat --canal tour today---nice but a lot of same, same. We were told we would see floating markets--which we thought was strange as they run only on the weekends-------- tourist trap little fishing boats selling beer, water and same same stuff as in the markets........so Pete bought a beer at 10am and off we went......not really a market at all.

But glad we went.

Went to our favourite soup restaurant and had soup for lunch then went for a walk down a ally way--and it started to rain---a lot!!! so we ducked into a restaurant and Pete had to order another beer and I a coke. Met some students a German, Polish lady and Thai man and talked with them for about an hour---good visit. Then off exploring until I realized we had been on this street again...we have been taking the long way home every night and just now we find we can do it in 5 min instead of 1 hr-----oh well that is why we explore in the day time. 

Buildings along the canal

We fed some catfish bread.

A Monk used a long pole with a bucket on the end to pass us a bag of bread pieces and in turn we placed 20 baht ( 80cents) in the bucket to pay for it. Got splashed a lot by the hungry fish

on board the long tail boat

One more sleep then we head home.
