Kandal Province

We are in Takmao now and docked next to a large boulevard. The Governor of the province is suppose to visit the ship on Monday before we move to the area where we will first work. We are never certain if the meetings that are set up will actually happen until they happen. But we will prepare the Ship for his visit and hope all goes well, so we can get to work. Every evening people come and just sit and watch the ship. I am sure we are just a curiosity to them and it is a common thing for people to just sit and enjoy the evenings outside. So I guess watching us is like a tv show! Ha In the picture, Sandy is leaving us after two and half weeks. She has been very helpful in setting up the x-ray machines and processor. I must say she took some very good pictures of feet, hands, elbows and whatever else. After the first day, one of the crew members was brave enough to ask us (for the rest of the crew) if it was true that whenever an x-ray was taken that the people in the vicinity of the machine were in danger of becoming unable to have children. Rick quickly assured him that there was no danger whatsoever to anyone on the ship working of having any problems! Cathy Carson is next to Sandy. Kevin and her will be here another two weeks. It's great, yesterday she baked banana muffins! what a treat! gail
