Picture - August 6, 2009






Hi All,

I hope you can all open these. They are smaller than my last try.

The first is of Chuck taking part in a lighting ceremony (we think it's Hindu, but it seems to be for everyone) that brings light upon whatever activity follows. We had one the day earlier before his talk. This was prior to a concert. Some of the band members and other dignateries were up there too.

THe second is of two elephants with dusted trunks blessing people who put a coin (offering to the gods) in the trunk. After the elephant gave the coin to the trainer (happening in the farther away elephant) he then took his trunk and fairly gently rubbed the head of the person or persons (the closer elephant). It was really neat.

The last picture is of Chuck and me "helping" some fisherman pull rope that was attached to a large limb attached to fishing nets in the water. As we pull up, the net comes up with what ever fish were swimming by at the time. This process is called Chinese Fishing.

All for now. Hope you are all healthy, cool and enjoying your summer.

Love Chuck and Jan
