Sorry for not posting in a couple of days. Poor Daniel is teething really badly and he also has colic. We are dosing the poor pet with every bit of medication that we can get our hands on. He's such a happy little fellow when he's not in pain. Here he is asleep in his Daddy's arms. You can just make out a little wooden bracelet on his left hand. His carer put that on him. Apparently it aids sleep. It didn't work last night but maybe tonight...
We went to the museum of Ethnology yesterday with some of the other people from our group. It was amazing to see the type of house that Daniel would be living in if he were staying in Vietnam. The Tay build their houses on stilts. The floor is a woven mesh, and it was really springy. Grace and I walked across the house. I was never quite sure that we weren't going to fall through the floor. It was very beautiful though and shows a much simpler way of life.
It was flogging down all day today so I took myself off for a massage (as you do) It was fabulous. It cost $28, lasted a full hour and I don't think I've ever been so relaxed. Mikes treat is to go for a haircut tomorrow. Somehow I think I got the better of the deal.

Good on you Sharron, a woman after my own heart, there is nothing on this earth more relaxing than a good massage, and wow that was so cheap. Hot stone massage here costs 80euro for 1hr. How i wish it was only 28, i'd be so relaxed all the time. Luv the foto of the house, it looks pretty big.

Did you do much shopping in Craftlink?? I think I bought nearly all their handbags and scarves!! Got some lovely laquerware there too.
