<\/p>\nStill no baby – so we are hunkered down at the house, venturing out only on short trips for food. If there is no baby in the next 12 hours, I will call and see about extending my trip for another week. But, repetition not withstanding, Sue thinks we’ll be going to the hospital tonight! If so, I may still make my 1 am flight back to the States tomorrow night.<\/p>\n
The rain has been wonderful; not only cooling things off, but cleaning them off as well. The other night we spent some time (and surprisingly little money) in the Flower Market. There were a dizzying number of orchids, chrysanthamums, roses, and other exotic varieties for sale – in big, organized heaps along the sidewalk.<\/p>\n
Bags and bags of chrysanthamums to string together with jasmine to give as offerings to Buddha.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Street vendors selling these fragrant yellow and white garlands are on every street corner – so there is always the heady scent of jasmine floating about.<\/p>\n

We bought orchids and pink roses (which come in bunches of 30 for less than a dollar) and nice greenery too.<\/p>\n
There is one unpleasant thing that the rain brings: big centipedes. Yup – 6 inches long and as thick as my thumb – just walking along the sidewalk same as me.<\/p>\n
