Later, we were going to ride scooters ten minutes south to get a market town, but my sensible brain dissuaded me with many logical arguments: I've never ridden a scooter; the gas and brake on the same handle seems like a confused disaster waiting to happen; there's a lot of traffic on the road there including some large, fast trucks; it would likely rain, reducing visibility and becoming slippery; and so it went. I was torn between an adventurous spirit and a prudent brain. Instead we took a shuttle into a nearby town, then got a truck-bed turned taxi to the open-air market. Although we didn't buy any goods, we got to hold a baby lemur.
After dinner in a local restaurant, we bought some treats at a grocery store and went back to the hotel for dessert. It was a day of simple pleasures and manageable adventure.
