USA Trip — #5

33ºC after I turned on the fan.

Well…. A congruence of impediments has kept me from posting here since last Monday. The first few days it was lack of time. Then I left my camera in New York with the photos I wanted to post here. And then, on the road back, I tried to post and found that some security functions didn’t recognize my newer laptop and wouldn’t give me access to my own website. Now I’m finally back in Kentucky and will give a quick post today and a fuller one tomorrow using the few pictures that I have on my phone since my camera didn’t accompany me to Cambodia. This picture is in my room where the temperature was 34ºC when I walked in Friday afternoon. That’s 93ºF. When I was in the States, both New York and Kentucky were in the 60s and 70s which was so nice…

USA Trip — #4

Arrghh…. I finished the Maryknoll Lay Missioners board meeting Saturday at noon and then flew to Louisville, Kentucky to visit my family–leaving my camera with all the photos in my room at Maryknoll. I will try to provide some text for those days and then see if the helpful people at Maryknoll are able to send my camera to me by courier before I leave on Wednesday. More on that to come!
