Early morning alms

Hello friends, I woke up early this morning to see monks receive alms from people on the streets at 6:30. Basically, they walk up and down the streets every morning receiving stick rice from the devout. It was interesting. Then I went back to bed.
Today's been a lazy day. We went out for a beer or two with our new Chilean friends last night. Didn't come home till 12:45! This was my latest night in quite a while. When you're alone, it's much easier to go to bed early.
I enjoyed a delightful breakfast, made some headway in War and Peace, and got a $5 pedicure! This evening we're going to sample some delicious local food by the river.
The weather here is a bit strange. It's nice and cool at night and in the mornings till about noon. Then, it heats up and stays hot till 9 pm or so. It's weird that it only gets so hot late in the day. I think I am acclimating to the heat, but I also think that when it cools down at night, I get some relief, so it's more bearable during the day.
George, to answer your question, I'm fairly certain I'm done diving. There's a remote possibility I can go in India, but I'll have to see where my priorities lie once I'm there.
Most of the tourist attractions are fairly easy to find out about and to get to. They're mentioned in the guidebook, but you also can't walk down the street without a million people asking if you'd like transportation to whatever local attraction is in that particular area. Also, I find out about things by talking to other travelers.
Anyhoo, I hope you all survive the snow!
