This weekend marks a special holiday, one that I was privileged to see celebrated last year in Phnom Penh. No, I’m not talking about Halloween (although I will certainly be celebrating that tomorrow evening in the Perche) but about the Cambodian Water Festival, or “Bon Om Touk.”
Last November I was torn. Should I go up [...]
Some photos of a choir rehearsal last week here at Midd… thanks, Alexis!
See them in the Middlebury 2009 Gallery.
Hi – took a few minutes this evening to repair the previously non-functioning “Galleries” page – where you’ll find a few photos of my “au revoir” visit to Wat Opot this week. There are more, but I wanted to share these while waiting to put together something more extensive.
I’m enjoying my last evening in Cambodia [...]
I’m trying out yet another photo gallery setup. I don’t know if I’ll keep it, but meanwhile, the latest photos are there, so if you want to see them, you’ll have to check it out! Here’s the link: http://www.bonniesphere.com/gallery/ Let me know what you think. It’s a bit tricky to navigate for the moment, but [...]
Getting ready to go to Phnom Penh. I don’t really want to leave – it’s vacation (Water Festival) and the weather is just absolutely beautiful. It’s cool, breezy and sunny, and for some odd reason the smells in the air remind me of an American springtime.
Last evening I had the kids over to watch “Honey, [...]
Hi, all!

For links to the new photos, go to my gallery page.
Love to all… and GO [...]
News shorts…
- Today Wayne and his admin ladies handed out the zillions of clothes the Taiwanese donated. The screened-in porch of the volunteer house was transformed into a flea market-cum-road accident scene complete with noisy onlookers.
Wayne was completely zapped out tonight; it’s an ordeal trying to make everyone happy (NOT possible) and keep order when [...]
New photos on picasaweb.google.com/bonniewoolley. A note: all the photos have been resized so as not to take up too much space, but as my camera is a 12-megapixel affair, I also have high-rez versions.
This week’s photos: Around and about Wat Opot; scenes from daily life; the visit of the Lions’ Club of Taiwan. Many thanks [...]
Andrew Gray is the man whom I spoke about in an earlier post – he was here when I arrived some 10 days ago. He’s a photographer, and on this site – http://www.photosensibility.com/ – you can see some of the pictures he took while he was here. The backdrop he’s using is the wall in [...]
Hi, everybody -
I’ve finally managed to get my first album of photos online. These are selected from the hundreds of pictures I took in the first week… I’m going to calm down a bit, but I had fun!!

I think the album takes some time to load on “slideshow” view, so it might be better to [...]
