it was fascinating to walk the non-tourist neighborhoods, and see people going about their Tuesday.
the neighborhoods seemed to be sorted by specialty. we walked several blocks (ducking under low hanging clumps of power lines) Lined by woodworking mills, then came the furniture stores, zigzagged over a few canals, and all the stores had ladies underwear, tarps or men's clothing (mostly camo prints). the farther we walked, we were all surprised that we didn't come upon any kind of little cafe or eating establishment to grab a beer.
we got to the Boabe market, which looked like a lot of clothing, and further down fruits/veggies, but it was all being packed up for the day. by this time, we were starting to get loopy thirsty... so we decided to try our luck again in the tuk tuks.
no one seemed excited to take 5 of us, so we negotiated to have two follow each other. after a lot of pointing at maps, and sign language (animated charades) indicating eat, drink and by the river... the drivers settled on "something" (what it was was a mystery to us), but we jumped In and went along for the adventure.....
