Description
Photograph of four Maryknoll Sisters "Enroute to Kaying on the river boat. We are sitting on the beds having our noon meal a la Chinese. Opposite us were a family of Chinese from grandpa down to grand daughter. It wasn't a very roomy environment." The Sisters each have a bowl and are feeding themselves with chopsticks.
