    Kiat and Dru left us to go to a village where the org we were with had an outreach. They taught Book classes and English classes and simply hung out in the village. Bathing was done in the traditional SE Asian way–at the village well. Dru held off taking a bath for as long as he could, but finally, he could no longer find excuses not to. So he donned his skirt (1, 2 – they are called different things in different countries) and went to village well. The local shepherd was quite concerned that he put it on tightly so that it wouldn’t slip off. He waited until it was almost dark, and carefully went to the village well which was in the midst of several huts and took a very quick, clothed bath. He said he felt very… white.

    Dru and Kiat were at the village most of the time we were in Siem Reap. We’d see them during the day sometimes because it wasn’t all that far from Siem Reap.

    The tragic affair: the beautiful helium balloon wafting skyward after being lost in a tussle. The previous pictures shows the heartbreak that ensued.


    Kelly was rapidly outmaneuvered in this game of soccer and finally gave up in mock tears
