Exploring After the Wedding

After the wedding, we went exploring while we were on the other side of the river. (Actually, we were visiting church members and their families, but for us, it was exploring.)

The young men in orange behind Thomas are Buddhist monks


This temple/learning center is not very elaborate compared with others we've seen, but there are dozens of monks sitting around under the trees resting in the heat of the day. We saw several of them walk (always slowly) up to the river to take a bath.


I couldn't resist taking a picture of these huge pigs. They were just roaming around. The one in the rear has a nasty cut on his back side.


We walked across the school courtyard...


...while Bill struck up a conversation with a monk. At first, he only spoke to this one, but after a while he drew a crowd of about ten of them.


This man is a church member, and was so happy to see Bill.


The motor on the ferry


An elderly woman squatting to wait for the ferry on the dock (Do you see this dock?!? We decided we would wait on shore!)


The ferry coming in


The paths are packed dirt with living fences all along them. Very pretty. The motos would speed down these paths and we would see them coming and scoot everyone over to the side as fast as we could.


Some women with their boat
