| My dad said "looks like they're selling nuts in something across the street" so I ran out to discover a wooden cart full of warm river clams. They were delicious, if risky. You open them with your teeth which is very hard. |

There is more food I ate of course, but I got lazy towards the end with photographing things and also had 2 bouts of gastrointestinal distress and did not eat for 3 days each time and it seems I am missing some pages of this blog altogether. I will have to go through my uploads and find them.
