Work trip


Late last month Spencer went to Germany, to the little town of Wolfenbüttel, to present a paper at a conference held in this building....

He also had the chance to explore the town and check out its quaint streets and markets.


On the way home he had a 48 hour layover in Bangkok.

His aunt and uncle, Jim and Karyn Redd, who have been in Thailand for the last year on a mission, were able to meet up with him and show him around.

The Grand Palace.  I love the trees.  They remind of Dr. Seuss.

Spencer got to take a ride in a tuk tuk.

Here was the view from inside.

Every evening that Spencer was away the boys and I would take out the atlas and Eliot would point out where Daddy was on the world map.  It was exciting to think of him going to interesting places, but they were pretty happy to have him home again.
