More stuff

I would really like to bring the colt home for the grandkids.  They are the cutest little horses and so gentle, but boy do they work them .  They pull these little carts all over the place and haul any thing imaginable.

The family well

They dip their water with the bucket

House of single mom and 2 kids who just got baptized.  Note the rose  on the R near the door entry.  It was what they gave to all the mothers on Mothers Day.

Looking down a typical lane in a village in KC

Looking the other way.   So pretty and green because it has rained  so much this year.

Another typical house

The family supply of cooking fuel.  Eveyone, even many who are well off cook with wood.  It is like camping all the time.

Cucumbers drying in the sun.  They dry them to about 50% and then put them in water or something and wait until they are really smelly and then eat them.  We have not had the courage to try them.

Our bridge leaving KC going toward Chup and Viet Nam.  The water is beginning to rise and will be over the big cement platforms in a month or so.

Khmer medicine.  He has some type of arthritis and hurts all over.  He bought these pads he sticks on his feet and it  supposedly pulls all the acid and poison out of his body and cures whatever ails him.  They have some chemical on them that turns black when it comes in contact with sweat and they are convinced that it is poison coming out.  Maybe it is who knows.  

Some type of weird chicken or Guinea hen

Front of the 3rd branch church

Another baptism by the Richfield kid

Tons of these all over.  They usually hook them to carts and make them work.  
 There is not a milk cow in the country.

Another small horse.  Note the ribs sticking out.  Every animal here looks like they are starving.
