Greetings from Laos.\u00a0 The build project is going well with lots of progress on the school, the playground, the rice shed turned classroom, and a new project – the painting of the existing six classrooms.\u00a0 We are tired and our muscles ache,but we are happy.<\/p>\n

Jordan and I are big fans of “The Amazing Race.”\u00a0 We even entered to compete once, but they didn’t give us a call.\u00a0 Oh well…..That’s their loss………………..<\/p>\n

During one of the seasons, the competitors traveled to Vietnam, and one of their tasks there was to count the number of electrical wires running down a certain street.\u00a0 Now, in the good ole USA this wouldn’t be such a big deal.\u00a0 But in Vietnam as well as\u00a0here in Laos, it is.\u00a0 Believe me.<\/p>\n

Take a look at the photo below.\u00a0 This is\u00a0photo could have been taken on\u00a0any given city street corner\u00a0here.\u00a0 See all of the wires and how they all emerge onto one pole at the corner?\u00a0 This gave us the idea to have our own competition, thanks to stealing the idea from\u00a0 “The Amazing Race.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Don’t worry.\u00a0 You don’t have to count the number of wires you see in the photo.\u00a0 All you have to do is\u00a0guess<\/strong> how many wires you think<\/strong> there are, and write it in the comment form below.\u00a0 We will\u00a0let Random.com select the winner who will win a prize we bring home from Laos.<\/p>\n

The contest will end at noon Southeast Asian time on Saturday.\u00a0 (That is midnight\u00a0Friday EST in the USA).\u00a0 By the way, we are 12 hours ahead of you.\u00a0 We have seen the future, and it looks good.<\/p>\n

Take care.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
