What Do You Call That Place Again?

Talk about some adventurous eaters!  Bob has made good on his promise to try everything!  So far he has eaten papaya, snake fruit, and star fruit.  Thursday night we got them started off right by buying food from a cart out in the street, so we all had a good dose of sate!  Friday our helper made fried rice and lumpiah--which are sort of like egg rolls but HANDMADE and off the charts!  They are starting to see why we haven't lost any weight...

Saturday we had lunch at one of our favorite places.  They were game; eating curry and hot peppers (actually Mom did on accident) and Bob ordered the stingray!  Talk about rolling with it.  Wait til we get to the beach and he can have some fresh squid!  Yummy!!

Here they are saying, "I can do it myself!"  Taking their new money that is green, blue, purple, and red depending on denomination and buying a little something at the pretzel place.
Yep.  They even tried some of Angie's green dessert.  Sweet and soggy like frosted flakes you poured in the morning and ate for lunch.  

What are they thinking so far?  Driving is just as bad or worse than they imagined and there are a LOT of people here.  Its hard to explain because if you are from Louisville and have been to the Chow Wagon you think you have seen a lot of people but there is something different about seeing a LOT of people ALL the time.

First thing Sunday morning we head for the beach and they now have internet access at the place so we'll try to keep updating!!!

I don't know if I could be an adventurous eater as Faye and Bob are. They're so brave. Stingray would for sure be a NO. But, you go Bob. And, Angie's green dessert looks kind of soggy. You all are real troopers!! Thanks for all the pictures. Love you all.

When Bob and Faye eat the chilled monkey brains, I'll be impressed.
