5/15 Floating Markets

Sat and drank iced coffeetea with Tre in a tightly packed outdoor market waiting for the tour group.  Said our goodbyes and we were off to the floating markets.  There were about a hundred big boats selling produce. Lettuce, squash, pineapple, papaya, and various other things I couldn't identify were tied to 10' poles that served as a kind of advertisement.  Drove to a truly amazing temple that was surrounded by ornate cemeteries on Sam mountain at the Cambodian boarder.  After climbing up the stairs, into a cave beyond statues of Buddha, Quan Yin and various other local deities and ancestors, we finally entered a small mirrored room with golden Buddhas.  It was so startling and so very beautiful that it made me cry;).  I spent the night at a corner cafe in a small low lounge chair watching the motorbikes and all the crazy things they manage to fit on to them.
