Every year at the Maryknoll office we put up a large Christmas tree that was given us several years back by a departing family. In the recent past, Fr. Bob Wynne did most of the work setting in up in his free time, but this year, after his return to the US, the tree decorating became a Maryknoll community event. We ended our usual Wednesday meeting an hour early and encouraged by some cheese and crackers and chocolate candy, the tree was set up and grandly decorated.

After breakfast at the retreat center we board the bus for a long, twisting journey up into the mountains where we visited an aboriginal parish and ate with them. Then we came down the mountain, ate supper, and returned to the center for a second night. Click here to see the day’s journey.

Trip to USA–Confusion
In all the running around and trying to get online, I found today that I had not copied all my photos from my camera to my laptop for use on this website. I’ll try to sort it out tomorrow from Phnom Penh—it’s too late tonight in Taipei. But in the meanwhile I’ll throw in an extra photo from Saturday, 20 October. When I was leaving Maryknoll, New York, I had my camera packed away when I found the Ossining Fire Department practicing with their ladder truck on the seminary building. I grabbed this photo with my phone but then forgot to include it when posting photos for that day.
