This week, the weather has been mostly cloudy during the day and rainy at night. Temperatures have been very nice in the mornings and evenings, getting down to the upper 70's. In the afternoon, it is warm and sunny. In Cambodia, November is usually the end of the rainy season and the start of cooler weather. It's my favorite kind of weather!
I've seen lots of animals around town this week. Cows, cats, dogs, snails, geckos, chickens, bats and even monkeys are animals I see almost every day.
In the villages surrounding my town, there are many families that own cattle. One of my favorite parts of my evening bike rides in the countryside is getting to ride my bike alongside small parades of cows as they are herded back from the fields. This week, I saw a mama cow and her baby calf at the park where I go running!
There are lots of dogs and cats in Cambodia, and I often see cats sunbathing on a roof and dogs gnawing on bones they've found.
