November 23, 2014. Part 2


We had a lovely lunch at a terrace restaurant overlooking the temples.  We walked around the main square for a bit.

In the smaller towns like this one, there are bicycle rickshaws




George told our driver that he wanted a hair cut, so he stopped at this place along the road...



For about $1.50, he got a nice cut as well as a  scalp, shoulder, and arm massage.  In the evening, we told our driver and guide that we didn't need a ride back to town for dinner.  We wanted to explore the area near our hotel.  We  walked to a nearby restaurant.  What a great experience!  It was a little cool, so the owner had built a small bonfire.  The restaurant was all outdoor seating, so he pulled a table and some chairs around the fire.  The restaurant has only been open for 10 dusts.  There was no printed menu, so we just told him that we wanted a veg dish.  We ordered a beer and a wine.  The owner's brother took off on his scooter to go buy the bottles for us.  A Belgian friend of the owner stopped by.  We invited him to join us by the fire.  Fun talking with him.  Great evening!
