It’s like that little taste of free time Friday gave me a bug. I’m super tired. This weekend seemed long and draining. I’m pleased with everything I’ve done, but I’m happy that I’m done with all the certificate earning for the trip. Here’s the last one:

After class today, I had a little rest at home. I didn’t really want to shop again, but there were a few things left on my shopping list, and today is the Sunday Market, and my last fun market day in town. So I went. I walked one of my normal routes to the far end.

I didn’t try anything particularly interesting, so no pictures of food there, but here are those mangosteens I told you about. You eat the white bit around the seeds in the center. Ideally, there aren’t any seeds there, but I don’t know how to choose them yet. Because the purple part is soft and I was curious, I also tried to eat it the first time. Yuck. It’s bitter.

Here are my new friends, the self-massage tools. I’ve already put them to good use. These will not be shipped home. Instead, I will continue to use them.

And sadly, that’s all you get today. Maybe I’m feeling just a bit sad already. This is my last week, and I’m saying goodbye. Of course, now it’s time for a new hello. I’m off to study with Pichet for the coming days. I’m looking very much forward to this.
