It was the last day of Khmer New Year. I cleaned the house and went to the market in the morning. I found some pumpkin leaves, a green pepper and two ripe avocados. I walked back to the house and rested.
After lunch I got a message inviting me to dinner at the home of the Crowley family. It was a New Year's party for all the church families and the missionaries. We played games together and ate delicious food.
Huge dark thunderclouds covered the sky but passed over us. The sun shone varnished on the world like in an old painting and a rainbow came down in the east, clear and glowing against the dark background.
I rode home as the sun set and through scattered raindrops.
