Pics






Ok so here are some pics that our friend Magnus from Sweden took of our trip to Halong Bay. Only a few so far but more will come soon. Pat, the garbage cans in the caves are giant penguins you would have loved it!!!

We are officially in Cambodia as of now. This is definately a place that I never thought I would visit in my lifetime. Aside from the gorgeous airport (it puts america to shame, full of art, marble, and plants) the country is substancially poorer than vietnam. There are beggars all over the streets, naked children, and livestock everywhere. We are staying at a really clean guesthouse in a dorm room. We thought we were alone until we discovered a giant lizard in the bathroom. What can you do? We will be traveling to villages all week and feeding, bathing, teaching children, and then visiting angkor wat on saturday before leaving for pnomh penh on sunday. It should be a great experience and I am definately excited to help out while I am here. It will be a huge change from the debauchery of Saigon.

That's my guy! You all are managing to take it all in and give back too. What an education in so many ways. I gag whenever I think of the maggot story. An adventure of a lifetime, it sound like Sara's health problems have cleared up? Your stories are fascinating. We read the maggot, modeling and the burn stories to your young cousins, expect lots of attention and maybe autograph requests when you return. Much love always again, Mom
