This is a moth that visited us a few times at John's house. It's hard to tell but it was about as big as our hands. The butterflies here are about that big too - they look like small bats when it begins to get dark.
Below is some of us volunteers on our way back from an outing...We're actually in the back of the van. Looks comfy but it was quite cramped.
These are a bunch of catfish - we went to a pond to feed them and there must have been hundreds. It was both fascinating and a bit disgusting...
We went on a dinner cruise of sorts on the Mekong which was beautiful. We got to watch the sunset and I of course took lots of pictures :).
This is my Thai buddy! She and about 10 of her friends taught us Thai for a week and helped out at the English camp. We are actually going to go visit her (she lives in Khon Kaen, about 5 hrs away) next week for an Elephan Festival. woohoo!!
We went to a fish festival about an hour away from Nakhon Phanom and there was a huge market surrounding this park area. There was a large parade with tons of floats that went down the roads of this town and this was one of them. We had to leave before we could see the parade though as they were several hours behind schule and we had to get back. We did get to see the starting of the parade though and wander around the floats. There was also a couple baby elephants in attendance and we got to feed them sugar can and again, of course take pictures.
We stopped and were offered water in some people's huts along the parade route so we rested here for about an hour. It was one of those days that felt hotter than usual so it was great to get out of the sun. The women tried to talk to us and the men were making fish cages.
The market at the fish festival! They even had fair games like throwing darts and such. Most of us tried and failed miserably...I guess there is always next time!
