So sorry to hear that Mike is suffering so from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. As always, you seem to be able to accept situations with grace, but here’s hoping he can find some relief. Sending you a big, energetic hug and much love.
I am always astounded at how the traditional blends in so perfectly with western wear. I have found this everywhere I go. Here we see the black hat on the lady at the left side of the photo.

You have captured a perfect moment in time. Thank you.

Hi Heather:
I don’t think they were too happy about me taking photos, but I bought some produce, so that seemed to smooth things over a bit.
