Another field trip
Today we took mostly the small children to go to the pagoda...which meant another 2 hour trip on the truck with 40 people. It wasn't as bad this time though as the small children take up much less space, but it still gives you a bit of a sore bum.
A sea of sleeping children
The monk that we gave our food to and who blessed us, a really neat experience.
Curry stuffed frogs, part of our picnic lunch that we brought...really yummy actually.
The children were so excited about the trip because the pagoda was just a small part of it, the main attraction was the wildlife sanctuary that we went to. We got to see a bunch of different animals and it felt like we were just out in the forest for a walk. It was nice to see the animals in this natural setting.
On our way home we stopped by a lake and went swimming. I stripped down and jumped in wearing a sports bra and underwear, while the kids all followed one by one...fully clothed of course :) And we finally got the other volunteers to go in as well.
The kids absolutely loved it...and so did I!
Our last quick stop was at an ancient temple. Which made for a really nice finish to a long day out.
