Meet my new big brother. Water bottle #12

Barbara's co-worker Pat lives directly above us so we do a lot together. Today we visited the fabric area by the river because an average sized American must have clothes specially made, as all the clothes in the shops are for short tiny Vietnamese people.  It is also very inexpensive to have clothes made, so why not.  Our friend Nhia, who works at the front desk in our building, has a mother will do the sewing.  I don't know if you have ever been fabric shopping, but there is a plethora of choices and it is very hard to decide.  Needless to say, we spent hours and hours at the outdoor market, and as the day wore on, it became hotter and hotter and the shops began closing their doors for siesta. After today, I finally understand the purpose of the Mexican siesta and most of the shops and restaurants close from 11 am until 4 pm. It is just too hot without air conditioning.  In this heat, it wasn't long until I was drained of water.  Pat's water bottle was emptied quickly also, so she bought a new water bottle for both Barbara and herself.  I am a 250 ml bottle and the new bottle is 500 ml, so I call him my big brother, #12
