I uploaded some more photos to Flickr today from Window of the World.
I made fried rice for dinner tonight and couldn't help but rinse the rice a few times and then look for the bottled water to cook it in. Then I remembered that we have tap water that you can drink. Strange.
Going through the grocery store today (a Fred Meyer, for the curious) was a bit overwhelming for my little brain, but I noticed things that I'd never taken note of before. Like the insane number of magazines proclaiming the magic key for weight loss. And how the candy bars are lined up, and on sale right next to them. How about not buying the candy OR the magazine and head over to the fresh fruits. I miss the fruit market so much. There are a wide variety here, but the tropical fruits are lame examples of the quality available abroad.
And how did I GAIN five pounds eating fruit and rice and drinking loads of water? I don't get it. I thought I'd go to Viet Nam and lose a few off this chubby American body, but somehow managed to gain a few instead. -sigh-

Hey our "cardboard" picked too green fruits in the "supper " markets are good for you ? At least they have the fiber though :) :) :). I bet you are spoiled with all the fresh picked produce you find in those countries that have little refrigeration and not miles of freeway to truck things from one end of the country to the other. Gotta love the marketing though, they are clever ! I guess it is too far to a farmers market? How about Mc Minville?
