AROUND TOWN

I'm getting a bit more time now to walk around with my camera. Just across the bridge and about 100 metres south is one of the very large local market places in town. Here is a colourful corner as we approach the area. The market place is a cacophony of sights, sounds and smells ~ some of the latter take some getting used to. I've yet to attempt to photograph within the main market building but will do so soon. There's lots to see around it.

This is a colourful lottery ticket vendor. I don't know what the payouts are here. We've decided to save our money for other luxuries instead.

As we walk away from the market area towards the centre of town we get a good view of our building looking north up the river. Our suite is the second one in from the right just below the L in the roof line. I'd insert an arrow to show you where except my drawing program is not working on this laptop.

Last night was the first night since moving in that we had trouble sleeping. It seemed to warm up during the night and the humidity increased. I didn't bother to turn on the air conditioner. It cooled off beautifully at about 6:00 a.m. so we just slept in. Isn't retirement  wonderful.
