Fun in the afternoon and evening

We had a good day today. After Rachel's nap, we walked over to the market across the highway via pedestrian overpass. It was a bit of a walk, especially as Rachel has decided she likes to be carried quite a bit, even when safety doesn't demand it. The market was booth after booth of dried foods and spices. The most common items, in booth after booth, were roots and tubers of all varieties, mushrooms and other fungi, starfish, seahorses, and dried fruits we did not recognize. Many merchants were drying their goods on the streets then bagging them for bulk sale. It was an interesting area to walk around.

We ate at La Dolce Vita, and the pizza was quite good. Rachel ate 2 1/2 pieces herself, so she fits in well in our family! Fruit juice is very good here. The apple juice in the tall glasses in the photo was fresh, something like a cross between cider and the apple juice we're used to.

On the way back from supper, we stopped at the playground so the kids could wear themselves out. Rachel would probably still be there if she hadn't needed to find a restroom. She's asleep now. Her medical exam and immunizations are early tomorrow morning. We're praying that goes well; it can be an anxious experience.
