Day 26 1/26/14
Today we did our typical lazy Sunday routine. We got green tea fraps from our local coffee place and then walked through the Sunday market. There were a few vendors selling white clothes,so we looked around to find pants. Some were way overpriced. We haggled them down a bit, and found a woman who gave us a good deal on some. We bought three pairs of pants, two for Ryan,and one for me. After our purchase we walked to the park on the other side of the old city. The park was packed with all different walks of life; couples laying on bamboo mats, people doing yoga, jugglers, overly tan people laying in the sun, Thai families, and many others. We hung out there for a couple of hours reading and writing. As we were getting ready to leave we noticed a group of thai men playing an interesting game. There were ten of them standing in a circle, kicking a ball high in the air, and trying to get it through a net. The net was a good twenty feet in the air, and hung from a cord on a telephone pole The game looked like a combination of hackey sack and basketball, it was very interesting. After we left the park we went to grab dinner at Johns Place. We shared curry with rice, and indulged in an order of fries. On the walk back we passed a woman making "Rottee", a crepe style dessert. We ordered one with bananas and nutshell. It was amazing. Back at our apartment we relaxed and unwound with some changs before hitting the hay.
