Last night after we got to our hotel, Matt and I went on a quick adventure to find him a tie (unsucessfully) for a meeting he had this morning. It was effing hot and humid as anything (explains the lightning, thunder and downpour last night through this morning) but a GREAT way to see some of the surrounding area of our hotel in a short amount of time without feeling unsafe since my guy was with me. :)
We grabbed some dinner on the way back -- holy shit. Dessert was fresh chilled mango with a side of warm coconut-sweetened sticky rice... A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. So simple but soooooo delicious! Must try to make that at home. I am getting all sorts of new recipe inspirations.
At the risk of a rough transition here... one sobering moment was walking through the marketplace and nearly stepping on a beggar laying on his stomach with a bowl for money who had two partially amputated legs. Very sad. I know there is poverty everywhere... but there seems to be a more exaggerated expression of it over here as compared to where I am from.
In any case, I'm contemplating venturing out a little to go to a few shops but I haven't gotten my act together yet!
