After the long drive, dodging piles of rice husks on the road - that way they can be dried faster - and almost going off the shoulder a few times, we arrived safely at the bishop's house. The first thing we did was take a short tour of the grounds. Here is Dinh, Bill, and Vinh in front of the cathedral. Bill was amazed at the beauty of the stone work and how marvelous everything looked.
Here, Dinh is explaining to Bill about the large bell of the cathedral. The bell weighs nearly two tons, so we don't want to drop it on our toes. It can be heard eight miles away. So if mom had used that to call us into the house, we could not have said we didn't hear it.
This is Dinh making me pose with a USB cable. There is no reason to take it except that he wanted to play with the camera. We need to get him some toys.
