some pics

Another latrine pic. Also serves as shower. Like you haven't seen enough latrines and dogs already.




Church deck floor made of bamboo.











Skinny tree produces absurd quantities of papaya. They knock the tree down to get the fruit. I'm not sure if it's because they don't have a fancy ladder, or the tree dies once the fruit gets picked. Probably the former.

Trip back

This is not the most flattering photo of myself, but what I want to point out is the beautiful and serene S------ River pictured behind me that is clandestinely carrying us away from B----. Its calming current and pristine sandy river banks (softest sand I've ever walked on) belie the madness going on in this country. On the other side is the Thai national park. The only difference? Landmines. Ironically, the landmines that have been laid throughout the jungle terrain along the eastern side of the river has inadvertently preserved its beauty.



Walking down from the church on the hilltop where the training was held. The rice bag I'm using to protect the laptop and my hairdo from the rain.
