We were going to go to see the country side today, but so many babies were sick with respiratory infections and stomach problems that we had to cancel the trip. John, Gabby, Junie, and I went to the toy market instead.
It was a short cab ride there, but we went on so many side streets that we could never find our way back. The toy market was in a large building that was like a maze. The aisles between the shops were only about three feet wide. Each shop was a small cubby filled with toys, jewelry, or other items. Many of the shops were only three to six feet wide and only six feet deep. In any aisle there could be as many as fourty shops and there were about ten aisles an each floor. We spent about three hours at the market and stopped at about fifty shops.
The prices were really good. We haggled a bit, but didn't need to. We left the building with some really neat stuff. Getting back to the hotel was challenging because getting a cab as almost impossible. It took us more than a half an hour to flag one down. We were so glad to get off our feet.
