Dear Friends,

I have absolutely no idea what these miniature blue chairs were doing outside the nice wine bar but, I liked them anyway.

Playing Cards

Dear Friends,

The market had a wide variety of playing cards. I am sure we'd own several sets if Brad had been with me.

Antique Market

Dear Friends,

There were all sorts of interesting items at the "antique" market. Fun way to spend a morning.

Pajamas

Dear Friends,

Wearing your pajamas out on the street is perfectly acceptable here.  Not sure why.

Calligraphy

Dear Friends,

The man at this street stall was willing to write anything for you in calligraphy. I just liked the brushes and the porcelain brush holders.

Lanterns

Dear Friends,

The Chinese love red.  Lanterns, wall hangings, envelopes, you name it.  It does make the market feel festive.

Bust Roller

Dear Friends,

Even after reading the back of the package I'm not exactly sure what the "Bust Roller" is supposed to do.

Love,

Cover

Dear Friends,

Surprisingly enough, we did not purchase the fuzzy toilet seat cover.  Yuck!

Love,

Bird Cages

Dear Friends,

We walked through the park wondering what all the older gentleman had under the cloths.  One look to the trees solved the mystery. There were dozens of birds in cages all through the park.

Liquor Grenade

Chips

Dear Friends,

There is quite a variety of chip flavors here. Have not tried these  yet but will before we leave.
