What a lovely day! My friend Cynthia and I spent a couple of hours perusing the Third World Bazaar. I had to take pictures and just try to take it all in. Third World Bazaar I did buy an elephant carved in a large piece of wood (looks like drift wood) and a scarf and of course a couple of items for Christmas! I have two weeks to go back and purchase some more items. Such a beautiful place!
We then went for lunch at French Cafe in Manotick. I had never even heard of this little place and we found it purely by accident. All fresh ingredients! We had a great meal and fantastic conversation. It all just made me want to travel as much as possible! Maybe some day! I'm sure there will be a chance in a couple of years! My list of places to see is growing longer! Thailand was never high on my list, I think I was always afraid of the "busy-ness" of the place, but now I want to go more than ever. Many of the items from the Bazaar are from Thailand (as well as Indonesia, Mexico, Ecuador, Cuba, etc), but I would also like to visit Soi Dog Foundation and Boon Lott's Elephant Sanctuary. Of course going back to Portugal is high on the list, as well as Spain and Italy. I would love to also see Romania and meet our Sponsor child Izabela!
Here are a few photos from today;
