Today (which was really yesterday since I am behind a day blogging) we finished up with our home. We couldn't complete it unfortunately (it will be completed by local hands). It was a tough day for many of us emotionally since we had to leave our family and kids and neighbors that we grew so close to. Jeng (the mother cried too). I learned I am not a brick layer and do not possess that skill. We had lunch with the monks and parted ways early afternoon. The highlights of working with this family was passing out candy, stickers and taking polaroid photos. It truly is remarkable that they don't have photos of their families. They asked us to take a polaroid of a lunch they had made for a recently departed family member.
The bus ride to Don Thap took about 4 hours, was bumpy at times and we crossed two rivers taking a ferry.
It was a long day and they won't be getting shorter.
