I’m having a nice, normal-feeling day. WanderGirl woke at what is becoming the normal time: 6 a.m. (She goes to sleep around 6:30p.m.) Our neighbor seems to leave for work then and so she and I wake up. The boys sleep on.
This morning, I put her in lightweight long sleeves and pants, to guard against early morning mosquitos, and went for a walk. We passed orange-robed monks singing, literally, for their rice. The local people come out of their houses and offer the barefoot monks, ranging in age from about 7 to 70, rice for their daily meal.
We walked on. We found a nearby school with what looks like a playground made from plastic — not rusted metal. There are no playgrounds or open spaces for kids to speak of, so this could be a find. Not sure if it’s open to the public but we’ll find out.
After WanderGirl’s morning nap, we biked to Tesco (12 min) and enjoyed a Dunkin Dounuts Frappe while the kids climbed on those coin-op kid amusements that all malls have. It was air conditioned. It was lovely. (C & J if you are reading…this may be our meet up place. It’s about half-way I think:)
Now we are getting ready to head to the pool, once WanderBoy wakes up. WPapa just bought pad thai, pad si yew, fried rice and two portions of white rice for $3.50. Yum!
Life is good.
