1905 farmers market

Our weekends have been shaping up nicely.  Since we have an in house alarm that rarely lets us sleep past 6:30, we are up and ready to make the most of our days off.  Saturday mornings we've been going to the restaurant 1905 for breakfast and the farmers market.  We stock up on cheeses, breads, meat and fresh fruit/veggies while running into half our co-workers and students' parents (I've never ran into so many people I know while out than we do in Kathmandu).  It's great people watching too - with folks who have been here forever to the tourist fresh off the plane, it's an odd assortment of people who seem connected by the common need for good, fresh food.

The day in photo

Jeremiah ran in a local park while I attempted to read my book - Eat, Pray, Love - only to decide it was much too hot to just sit and sweat. I decided instead to walk the loop and look at the locals.

Snack time - fried nori strips?

Horse drawn carriage - I don't think this is a normal sight anywhere except maybe Disneyland - on our way to see Orphan at Tiger City Gold City theater (a very swanky place with reclining seats and food delivered much like Cinetopia in Vancouver)

New shirt - my first fashion purchase in Taiwan (I'm thinking my mom is going to LOVE this)
