    day three....or whatever day it is. We've had a few more activities, some of them...
    - gone downtown to have lunch at the Cookie Shoppe; this is the place that jocelyn raves about constantly and it's actually pretty good. You really need to want to go there though...traffic in the downtown area is brutal. Imagine going up hill on a street barely wide enough for the vehicle, a one way thankfully, when the flow stops...it's hot, likely about 35C inside the car, A/C switched off because the engine is getting closer to the red zone, although it's not exactly adequate anyway, electric operated windows don't all function...you get the picture, eh?
    - downtown is also where the big market is located; because I didn't bring a hat from home, and because i REALLY need a hat when it's sunny in Tana in summertime. We venture into the vast labyrinth of kiosks and vendors to buy a hat, wandering deeper into the market searching for a hat vendor. We walked quite far into the vast depths of that place with thoughts of Deb becoming separated from the rest of us and not being able to find her way back to the car...scary!!! Even scarier when you consider that she could be carrying Asher (she wasn't...i was). Bought a hat for 7000Ar ($3.50) and am planning to buy a few more before i leave 'cause that's such a bargain.
    - played tennis with josh 3 times (seriously thinking about taking lessons from one of pros who also speaks some english). I'm not sure if josh is 'playing with me' but i managed to win at least a few games.
    - grandma has spent some time in the pool with judah who has become quite confident in the water; i may even go into the pool yet myself.
    - went to the Raphia for dinner last night. Jumped on the trampoline with judah and asher in the dark, enjoyed some fine Indian cuisine, washed down, of course, with some THB.
    - visited judah's school, met his teacher and all his classmates. Judah's french skills are apparently getting quite good, although maintains he can't speak all that well.

  • I don't understand this: "grandpa has spent lime in the pool with Judah who has become quite confidedent in the water, I may even go in the pool."  Isn't the author of this post grandpa?  its like that riddle: "a man looks at a photo and says brothers and sisters I have none but that man's father is my father's son. who is the man looking at?"

    oh boy.

  • It says "grandma has spent some time in the pool with Judah"...not Grandpa.
