This was one of the colorful streets in. The wholesale market area. Normally, you must buy in bulk here, but Amy spoke with some of the shop owners and we were able to find and buy some good deals!
This is Stephanie and Jamie bargaining hard with the little shop keeper :-). Their baby's name is Kayleen, and she's very sweet. That's Amy, our guide, in the bottom left corner.
This is the entrance to a Buddhist temple there on the street.
Normally I wouldn't stop to snap any pictures, but it was interesting to look inside...
And the smell from the incense burning was actually quite good...after shopping we stopped at a new local favorite restaurant for Westerners called "Tekila". It is authentic Mexican food and it is GOOD! The owner is a native Mexican and he has done a fabulous job of teaching his staff to cook incredible food.
After that, we returned to the hotel for naps and the we took Audrey to a play area for kids on the 4th floor. I'm guessing it must be new because we never knew or heard about when we were here 3 years ago.
I'm guessing because more and more adoptive families are staying here, and not Shamien Island, the hotel has wisely set this area up.
As you can see, Amelia had a lot of fun playing on the equipment. I'm sure we'll be back here.
