These folks were sitting at a table sewing beads on lace. They would then sell this beaded fabric for $5 or $10 a piece. We paid them our fare for the ferry. I think Bill said it cost $0.68 for all of us for a round trip.
Here's the dock
We're ready!
No life jackets, no guard rails, but we had the peace of God!
We exited the ferry and walked for a quarter to half mile to the home of the parents of the bride. They set up a tent and speakers and served food to all their guests. This is part of the wedding tent.
Very dignified wedding guests, enjoying themselves
Everyone was hot but happy
Chheng found us and sat with us.
What would you like to drink? Soursop Juice? (That was Kris' and my favorite). Grass Jelly Drink? (That was Anna's pick, although she didn't care for the pieces of jelly that settled at the bottom.) Winter Melon Tea or Lychee Drink? The boys stuck with Orange Fanta.
Octopus or squid and shrimp. The green balls are black pepper before it turns black.
I asked Anna to show me what she thought about the squid, and she grinned. She loved it! All the kids said they loved the squid! I know that this is due to our neighbors, the Malarchers, who love squid, and it helped our children to be more adventurous and eager to try it.
Fried pork
Duck
Chicken
The extravagantly dressed bride and groom; this type of wedding attire is the custom.
The PATC students enjoying their food and fellowship
PATC students again. This picture shows the beautiful tent a little better.
The dogs eat the crumbs that fall from the table
Uninvited community children watching the feast, waiting until we are finished...
...so they can confiscate the leftovers and unused items to sell or take home
