As many of you realized yesterday was 11/1/11. Although this alone has no particular meaning it did mean that a lot of people had wedding parties yesterday. Tom and I were invited to two and attended two. The first was for the education department ministers son. Tom and I were the token CLI/Falang representatives. It was a good time and many of the other CLI staff attended such as Chanta and Somlath. Next up we had some Lao Lao friend's wedding. This group was much more our age and there were a surprising amount of foreigners there. This led to only one coach attending practice this morning...me. Somlath didnt shows, Tom isnt feeling well and Sompien our other lao coach showed up for the last ten minutes, gave me a hug and told me he was hung over. Ohh the joys of a 630am practice.
In CLI related news tourist season is starting. Over the next few weeks Bob, Tom and I will be at our tour guiding best trying to keep the supporters we have and trying to make some new ones to keep CLI and the Library Boats afloat. We will be going to Chompet where the girls dorm is finished and up to Nom Kiaw where one of the more picturesque learning centers is. Wish us luck and when the funders arrive I should have some more photos and actual CLI news.
Chanta and staff have been working feverishly finishing some puppets for a new puppet show they will put on for activities. They are papier-mache and each head is about the size of two fists together. Not a great description sorry. I will have Chanta throw up some photos on her blog.

I hope all is well. To those of you who celebrated halloween, I hope it was a good one.

Good luck with showing the donors the wonderful progress you all are making. The country truly looks spectacular. I love Chanta's pictures. They really capture the children's interest in learning.
Did you and Tom share some of our Halloween traditions with the children?
Cardinals on a one-game winning streak! Finally a good game.
Hugs,
Cindy
