Better than a Denny's Grand Slam

Having taken in the tourist sites yesterday (that cave full of Buddha
statues and the whiskey village) we are now left with nothing to do but to
eat and to drink and to shop. So we spent the day eating and drinking and
shopping.
This is a photo of breakfast down by the Mekong River. All of that food for
about $8.00US. That was our biggest meal of the day. Lunch was $6.00. And
for dinner we splurged on that fill your plate buffet down at the night
market for $1.25 each. Then we went crazy and had a cinnamon roll for $.60,
and Michael had a banana mango honey crepe for $1.25. Food here does not
have to be a major expense.
In all fairness to full disclosure, I am tired of drinking beer so I did
coerce Michael into having a glass of wine (Frontera Chardonnay and Merlot)
for $4.00 each. Woo Hoo. But sat with two Australian physicians and had a
nice chat about infectious diseases, parasitology and advanced veterinary
medicine.
At the buffet picnic table seating we talked with two young women who are
bumming around (for two months so far and for an indefinite period to come).
Turns out they are from the Bay Area - recently San Francisco but grew up in
Walnut Creek and Pleasanton.
Oh and the shopping. Well, let's just say that Santa might have come early
this year.
Now what will we do with ourselves tomorrow?
