When we got back to the bishop's house, I couldn't believe all the motorbikes on the soccer field. The one-lane road out was packed with people going in and motorbikes coming out.
A picture of one of the music students with a seminarian, both from the same parish.
Just being goofy.
Two of the preseminarians packing strawberry milk for those who have a long trip back home. Some live as far as 50 miles, and on a motorbike and these bad roads, it can take a few hours.
Another music student.
Eating the great buffet food.
Bishop Joseph cracking us all up by insisting I take a photo of him in full regalia.
This is a very long tent under which the buffet was spread. All 1,000 participants got their food there then went everywhere to eat. It was a fun and exhausting morning, and I enjoyed seeing the many friends I have made these four years in Phat Diem. Now for a good nap.
