We wore her out? Laura has a "sleep-in" morning. I did some garden maintenance and harvesting of wing beans and Chili Peppers; then took an hour's bike ride to run some errands and returned to find Laura and John ready for lunch which was bread and jam and fruit!
Today we went out to the Angkor Silk Farm http://www.artisansdangkor.com/workshops-19-angkor-silk-farm.php. We took the tour: the mulberry tree plantation, the rearing facilities,

the spinning of the silk, the dying sheds, the tie-dyeing section,

the weaving of fabric on huge looms, workshops, the marvelous showroom and finally; we rested at the Blue Pumpkin's Snack Bar. My lime-mint-ice shake was soooooo good! I now plan to grow mint in our garden! Laura had two drinks (coffee of course!) with our baked goodies.
Dropping Laura at home for a rest, I biked over to school,

| Off to Spein Neak to teach ... 1500-1 |
taught my classes, and biked over to Genevieve's Restaurant where John and Laura were waiting.

Our waiter serenaded
us with a Khmer and an English song!
Wonderful evening!
Da pulled me on my bike
home with his TukTuk.
Life is full of little adventures!
