We were reminded yesterday that our time left in Tha Thom is short! In one week we will load up the project truck and head into the Capital. We find ourselves thinking often , "This may be our last time... going to the market, walking by the river...etc." It is a surreal feeling.

Traditionally, the Lao hold a Bacci ceremony when people arrive and when people leave. (It is also held for other events. Read more about Baccis in our
Bacci post.) Yesterday the office held a farewell Bacci for us. Many important people from the District attended, including the first and second district mayors. The event was held at our home and after the ceremony we joined together in a meal of fish soup, fish laap and steamed vegetables.

We are blessed to have Jeffrey's sister, Jyoti visiting us during this time. We will all be traveling back to the US together in a few weeks.
