Me, you and the Buddah

 Our last morning in Takeo. I was able to wake up before the sunrise to take a few shots out my window. Moments like these i really enjoy savouring, no matter where I'm at.


 Taking a morning stroll in the town before we our headed off into our training sites and into our new homes.


 A great group of friends to stay up late with and to play two truths and a lie. :)


 Before we were introduced to the families that we would be living with for the next couple of months we went to the Watt (Buddhist Temple) where our ceremony took place and we had several monks chant prayers for us.







Getting ready to met our families was a bit nerve wrecking. The whole idea about living with complete strangers who may possibly not even know a single word of English is probably what stressed me out the most. But looking back on it now, i realize that these families were probably just as nervous as we were. They did open up their homes to complete strangers from America and welcomed us into their lives with great big open hearts. Now that's courage.  <3
