Well I thought I would quickly share and let you know that we had a wonderful Thanksgiving as we hosted nearly 45 people on our rooftop. Marie Ens was the most experienced Canadian living in Cambodia (started in 1961). It was a nice evening as the weather was slightly breezy and nobody was sweating. Actually Mindy (formerly from TWU) was very cold and used a borrowed blanket. The evening temperature was still around 29C. So I have enclosed a number of pics to let you look at.

Some of the pics are random. Initially there is a pic of a bat that was just begging to come into our house one morning as it lay at the doorstep. After further investigation it had a broken wing. So we hit over the head and cooked it for breakfast. (Kidding-- the sad part is some of you thought it may be true, and that some how the Weiss' are going "tribal" barbaric).

Then there are a number of pics of the First teacher's retreat for Logos School. We took the whole staff of teachers and TA's (38 total) to the border town of Koh Kong. We stayed at a local hotel for $13/room -included breakfast for 2 called the Apex Hotel. What you will notice is some really nice pics of a Casino hotel we visited on a "free time" afternoon.

This place was really pretty much on the Thailand border and it was gorgeous. It cost us $1.50 to hang out there for the day.

Then some of the pics get random. A series of pics are of some sort of mold that suddenly showed up all over Julia's desk one day. The humidty etc.... not sure but whatever.

Some of the other pics included having some of the girls from the Asian Hope Girls House (orphanage with the school) over to our place for dinner. We made pizza together- Les made the dough and she found some Mozerrella cheese for the topping (although it was melting before we could get it on the pizza). The pizza was good and those girls are great pizza makers.

The neighbors got another puppy to replace a dog they got rid of. The other large dog "Buddy" they had was biting all the moto passerbys so they thought they should send it "to the farm". Not sure what that really means- I think it could mean they are letting it stay at a farm. However, it could mean- it is being used for a dinner? (I mean, its a big dog so it could be a wedding dog?)
The final pics are of course the Thanksgiving pics.

Actually today I wish I had my camera. As I was heading to the new school with a number of people this morning in the school van, I caught the last end of a large white cow hammering a moto driver off of his moto. The cow was somehow startled along with three other randomly scampering cattle when all the cattle suddenly just came off the side of the road and one lucky cow hit the unaware moto driver. The cow was alright and the moto driver was being assisted by some on-lookers. The driver was definitely shaken up. Apparently it is the cow owners fault but he was nowhere to be found. Just another day here in Cambodia.

By the way, for those of you that watch the Amazing race, those places mentioned on the show may be some of the nicest places that are here. As a side note: the place where the contestants had to go FCC to get a clue from 2 guys just reading a paper was also the very place where I took Les for her 40th birthday party- just one floor higher.
