Today we walked around a bit of town we hadn't been to before. We perused some book stores and picked up some guidebooks, I've discovered that I will be needing the next book in my series but was given an unfortunate discovery... the series here is in a different printing... so it wont match the other 9 and that will bother me. Secondly... the book costs about 8 buck back home and 25 here. Sadface. So that is a road I will cross when my current book is actually done.
Then we stopped into a HUGE cafe and the number of cakes was exceedingly tempting. However, instead of cake we each got ourselves "iced chocolates". In case I haven't described them before... they are basically milkshakes that haven't been blended. They're delicious!
After that we walked around a bit more and found ourselves at a movie theater. There we opted to see "The Tourist", and our reasons were twofold. First... it was another 100 degree day and we were hot. Secondly, we too are tourists, so it seemed appropriate. I thought it was a lot of fun.
Then we walked back to Martha's place, returning some movies and stopping by a vietnamese restaurant on the way. There we picked up "traditional Vietnamese dressing salads" ... which are basically just sadwhiches ... which we took with us back to her place, and they were very tasty. (Moreso then I expected).
The rest of the evening was pretty quiet. Martha had a frisbee league game, and while she had asked if I could play I could not. Instead Margaret and I used the time to finalize the next few days, and doing the bookings. Then when Martha returned we finalized our thoughts with her and that was that.
So, all said and done it was a quiet day, but nice to relax and nice to have some things finalized for the next few days.
