Sa bai dee! Today Mr. Kamsavat – The manager of the Green Earth Centre – drove us to a quite fancy government building. There we got to meet the Governor of Lao Ngam (Mr. Khamlai). Who could only speak Lao. Luckily Mr. Kamsavat speaks English pretty good, so he was able to translate for us. We were then invited to see the Governor’s farm. We got there and it was very beautiful. There were so many beautiful crops, and we got a two papaya and two passion fruits straight from the farm! Yum! We also got to feed the tilapia (a type of fish) that lived there, and eat sugar cane. It was, sugary (of course), but I really liked it.
After that we went to the police station, since we needed to register that we were in the town. It as nice to have a little excursion! La garn for now!
*Word of the day: bpaa (pronounced: paw), it means fish!

The air is pretty nice here! But it can be muggy at times. The fresh fruit is delicious! Yum, yum. I think we are settling into out house pretty well! The critter we see the most is probably actually a gecko. They are everywhere, and make the cutest noises!
