After the past week, we were all ready for an outing. With Art’s power chair fully charged and the temperature dropping to the low 30’s,we set out for the New Century Hotel, at 6:30 PM. Using the side roads where all the rickshaws and motor bikes mostly travel, we formed a small caravan with Marguerite in the lead .We were a main attraction, with being foreigners and Art’s power chair. Carefully proceeding through the main busy crossways, it took us about half an hour to walk to the hotel.
After touring the hotel, we settled on a Western and Asian Restaurant . It was a buffet with a special , where the 3rd person was free. Art felt it was a little taste of heaven, with nice roast beef and potatoes and seafood and great deserts.
Seeing as we got such a great deal ,we decided we should then all go for a foot massage. They were very accommodating and moved
furniture to fit Art’s power chair. The massages were great with young men doing Marguerites and mine while a cute, petit girl did Art’s.
When she had trouble reaching over the power chair to massage his shoulders, she stood on a stool behind him .
Art was a little nervous when a young man came in to trim his nails with a sharp looking chisel. Sometimes those feet want to dance on their own. Our feet felt very pampered with a full 90 min treatment (no pain like the extra firm one at the hospital).
With Andy’s small book flash light to guide us we returned home safely.
Today (Sun) Art rested and relaxed preparing for the busy week ahead, while Marguerite and I did some serious shopping at the silk market.
