Day Twenty-Three


I had run out of coffee, and thought breakfast at the market sounded nice.  As I followed the streams of morning shoppers, a food vendor called me to her table for breakfast.

She was making an omelet dish over a clay wood burning fire pot.  As I ate, two elderly women sat down beside me.  

They got good service, I noticed, though they seemed unsatisfied with it.  I finished my omelet and coffee and hurried off when the vendors started asking whether I was married and would I like to be.

The next day I tried another table.  Sitting beside me was an older man who was having a friendly chat with the vendor.  An older woman brought me everything before I could ask, and the coffee was delicious.
