Kambuchea

Just when I thought I couldn't love Asia anymore....I came to Cambodia!

30 hours of the smoothest travel I have ever had in a foreign country. 12 different legs, 12 modes of transport...by scooter, foot, boat, taxi, bus, train, tuk tuk, minivan, and rickshaw. Not a hitch in the gitalong, not a bump in the road. We arrived at our destination around 4:30 this afternoon, and found our hotel to be just as it looked in the photos. We were surprised to find a place this decent, with our own room; own bathroom; separate beds; safe, clean and very cozy... For a mere $2/nt!!! (Ahem, thats only $60/month rent...). I have no idea how they can afford to build such places at this rate..?? We are blessed and grateful!

We wasted no time in hopping into the town mix to explore. Cambodians are just as beautiful as Thais... Even more social and friendly, speaking far more English than their neighbors. So much laughter, sparkles in thier eyes, a playful swing in their step and humor in their actions. They come as open beings and it is easier to connect with them than the Thais. We are in heaven, and I'm trying to figure out how to bring a few of these kids in my backpack...

Our first adventure out began with a ginormous coconut! Three times as big as I have ever seen. We payed about 50cents for it and split it. It was almost endless and soooo satisfying after our long travels.

We found a night market and walked around, and had a Cambodian pedicure (see my FB photos)... Which is sticking your feet in a fish tank and letting the fish eat your dead skin off!! I can't even describe how strange this felt and how hard it was to keep my feet in the water at first...This was a terrific experience!!!

We enjoyed our first Cambodian meal which was divine, and wandered the streets soaking up the
Magic.....ahhhhhh......madly in Love!!!
