Last night for dinner we went to the Tamarind - Sheila's favorite restaurant from the last time she was here. Sitting around the table were: Gertrud from Germany, Regina - a German living in Australia, Marda from Spain, Sheila and myself.

| umbrellas in the night market - every evening the main street gets taken over by craft sellers, closing off the entire main street to traffic. |
It was overcast this morning so I thought it would be a good time to go on a long bike ride. By the time I finished my ride at Sheila's guest house, it was stinking hot. I headed over the bike bridge then east along the Mekong. The road started paved, but quickly turned to dirt.

The entire trip took about 1.5 hours. In that time I passed 5 wats.
