Haven't visited Wat Po for ages and forgotten how wonderful it was. We saw the usual sites, like the awesome reclining buddha (which never fails to make me feel calm), had a massage at the temple massage school, which was air-conditioned, a wonderful innovation since we were there last; I was recovering from a sprained ankle and of course the masseur knew it and worked on it for what seemed like hours, it was soooo painful, but it does feel better today.
From there we took a walk to the amulet market and along the way meandered through the street market, which sold everything from knives, dentures, screw drivers watches, amulets, and of course food. There was a cute stand that sold sooo many cute small amulets.
Finally we had to (of course) have a snack. I had the black grass jelly with coarse brown sugar chilled with huge ice cube. Walter had hot, fresh tofu in ginger syrup, there was a tube like addition which I hadn't seen before.
Finally I saw a stand that sold crab cooked in just about everyway
