More Bamboo Climbers -- More Rain

 As we arrived at the church this morning we noticed workers moving the pile of bamboo scaffold material to the back of the church building. This afternoon we went out for a bit of a walk and found where they were working. It is quite entertaining to watch them work. Tight-rope walkers and circus performers really have not put their full skill to work. It takes great skill to climb the bamboo poles while holding their paint roller, let alone standing suspended on a limb and rolling the paint on the walls. Just amazing! (One more of the things we see in Cambodia but would never see back home!)

As we finished our short walk the skies began to fall again. The rain is refreshing and welcome. Sameth tells us he hopes it is also raining on his rice fields in the provinces. It rained enough a few months ago, but has been so dry the crops are drying up instead of growing.  Pray for rain in Cambodia!

As we checked our Weather Chanel app we were assured it was gently raining here in Phnom Penh. That gentle rain was enough for those who live in the alley behind our office to go take their showers in the runoff. We were amused and amazed as a young woman stood under the flow and washed her hair, went under a canopy to lather with shampoo, then returned to the water to rinse. (Sorry, no pictures this time.) Apparently we have not been here so long to have this seem commonplace to us. Yes, we are on an adventure.
