Cultural outing with friends

Some friends we've met since moving here called us up and offered to drive us around the city to purchase some things for our home last Saturday ... but not without first taking us to a market that presented us with a whole new "cultural experience." Definitely not something we'd see back home but something that we enjoyed (well, something MOST of us enjoyed). Below, Noah is taking it all in as he watches our friend talk with one of the local merchants.

You can pick your chicken ... or your duck!!

Order freshly made flower garlands...

Or your choice of meat....

Or seafood....

So many shops set up that it would be impossible to get through all of them in a day ... and this is just one small shopping area.

"They are precious in His sight...."

Things are quite different here, but we love what the Father is teaching us. Each day brings about a new adventure and we continue to be amazed with the hospitality of this city. What a blessing it is for our family to be here!!
