Saturday November 18th, 2006 -- Medan, Sumatra -- After breakfast there were many goodbyes to the folks heading home. Dr. Gary and I do not leave until this evening.

Internet access in the hotel was not working so we headed over to the SOCP offices. While we were handling the Conference, Workshop & Summit (CWS), SOCP had taken delivery of a new generator.

This one runs on diesel and is water cooled, plus it is in a sound reducing box. finally long running electricity.

Dr. Gary is discussing the accounting for the monies spent on the CWS. I am writing the blog.

I am going to miss the people and the opportunities to see the rainforest and of course the Orangutans. I am not going to miss the cigarette smoke, the paperless toilets or the dense traffic.

I am sure that I will be back either to represent OUREI or to assist on a documentary or educational film.
