To the City and Back



Nicky went to the airport today, so we were up early and on the Ferry at 6:00 a.m. It wasn't a bad drive in and we passed several interesting activities. One being a funeral procession for someone who must have been very important or had alot of money. My picture isn't great, but they lots of monks and this decorated wagon that carries the casket to the ceremonial tent. Out in front were people carrying the offerings of food which I guess for the family. We had plenty of time before Nicky's check-in and assume all went well because she didn't call us to come back and get her. We spent the day buying supples for the clinic. Back on the ship, Piseth and Hai were having to pull more rubbish off the anchor line to be ready to move the ship to the new location. This green plant floats down the river continualy in blobs all the time. It must end up in Vietnam! gail
