Side-Saddle: Day 7

You're thinking jerky, right? Possibly even fish jerky...yummm!

Think again! Yes, those are water snakes. So I finished tutoring some secondary students in English and happened to glance over the second deck of the small boat before my descent down the flight of stairs. Indeed, that was the moment my eyes encountered a boat load of snake. I didn't previously realize the red drying meat on roofs was flattened snake. Vanna, one of the Khmer men with whom I teach and is resident small boat care taker, continues to insist on purchasing snake for snack for our preschoolers. Unfortunately ;) , we have to stick with fruit because snake is out of our snack budget! Fine with me.

A son is gathering dried snaked off his parent's roof.
