The Rocky Road to Siam Reep

Michaela, Margaret and Ron

Here we sit, Dave, Michaela, Ron and I drinking Angkor beer and watching the world go by in Siam Reep. Life is good. We are off to the ruins of Angkor Wat at 4:30 am tomorrow so tonight will be an early one. I have only been here for two days so am still collecting impressions. Cambodia is flat, poor but energetic. The people are beautiful and endlessly polite. Given what they have been through they are amazing. I have now seen rice paddies water buffalos and a buddha manufacturing factory (hand hewing of rock). we had a wonderful Cambodian lunch, 4 courses for $4. No wonder they are poor. We are off to have dinner with local Rotarians so have to go. Posted by Margaret
