The Pink Cadillac Fully Loaded

A day off today so we took our bicycles on a 20 something mile advdenture. First to Pak Weep Waterfall and on to White Sand Beach (the color of which would give Destin some stiff competition)

On our way back we stopped at the "market", which takes place every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday. I think EVERY local was there and all the tourists too! I cannot even describe the number of foodstalls, so cheap it would make you cry...fish, shrimp, spring rolls, whole chickens, and someunrecognizable items. It is like Jazz Fest without the music! Makeshift restuarants are strumg along the rows and vendors selling spices and sauces.
We didnt know what to eat first!!!There are hundreds of stalls with jewelry and clothing and rugs and scarves and sundresses...farily overwhelming. You can buy anything there! Well, just about.It is quite the scene.

We found our beach...
and Food Fest in one day!

Tomorrow off to see Khoa Lak, the town that is closest to where we are staying.
