Before Thailand

   

Some of the children (and adults in the background) at one of the house groups we went to.

Little Indian girl

That's me with a bunch of kids...no other place I'd rather be.

Love these people. 

Rice...yummm. 

Getting caught in the rain.  I don't know why but I just like this picture.

  

Our people just doin' what they do.       

 

Those mountains in the distance?  That's Nepal.

 

And this is what we saw on our way out of town.  Can you see it?  Right in the middle of the picture.  That's our promise.

Heading home.

 

The Next Few Posts

I wanted to put a disclaimer on the next few posts.  You ever just feel like you can't write?  I mean, seriously, I've been thinking about what I want to say about the past month and a half and it's not that I don't have anything to share, it's just that I have so much.  And I don't know that I'm the best at performing triage on what to send out into the blogosphere and what is better left unsaid.  I think that makes sense.  did that make sense?  Anyway, I thought, you know, we're always taught that pictures say more anyway, so maybe I'll let them speak (is there a quote here somewhere?).  So I'm going to try and sort them so as to give you somewhat of a timeline.  I know, I know.  You're worried and upset because you are going to miss my elegant rhetoric.  Well you don't have to worry.  I'm going to put captions under them.  Great; now that we got out of the way...picture time. 

Have You Seen This Water Buffalo?

This water buffalo is wanted for several things.  For starters, he has been a little overzealous about eating and he has been caught several times stealing hay from his neighbor's trough.  Now that's no way for a water buffalo to act.  Secondly, he's spreading offensive smells all over the South Asian countryside.  Offensive.  Really.  And finally, he is wanted for one very serious count of awesomely, incredibly, horribly bad hair.  We need to address this as soon as possible.  This is no laughing matter.  If you have any information about him, please let us know.  Sources have told us that he likes to go by the name of Kelvin "The Kelvinator" Bixley.  He doesn't go by "The Kelvinator" but that's what I like to call him.  So, like I said, any information at all, let us know. 

(And don't let that face fool you.  He's guilty.)
