We are in Cambodia--in Siem Reap. We have spent the past few days wandering around the temples at Angkor Wat and vicinity. It is beautiful here--not too hot, not too crowded. I've had no time at all to look at the many, many pictures I've taken, but I'll get to them eventually. We are having fun. :)

After the wedding, and before we left for Cambodia, Malida took me to her family's village, about an hour out of town. I drove, which was way cool. I haven't had so much fun driving on the wrong side of the road since I was a teenager. We took grandma with us so she could vote in the village elections.

Malida shares stories and wedding cake with some of her aunts and cousins in the village.

go bruins! :)


village 2

Grandma and a cousin. Grandma took a liking to me early on, and made sure I tasted every strange food she could think of. Before we left for the village, she fed me "ant's nest soup", which was surprisingly good. Grandma also learned enough english to tell me I had a "good heart".

Nieces. They were shy at first, but by the end of the day they were following me all over the place.

We are leaving for Phnom Penh in the morning. It's hard to believe that I will have to come home soon. I want to stay.

Part of me sees you wanting to move to Thailand, part of me knows you have too much love in California to leave it for long at a time.

So glad you're having a good time. I noticed the shirt, it's cute on her! Sokun sent me an e-mail with an update with what's going on. Maybe you should send me one, too, I wasn't sure of all he said. ;-) But it sounds like you introduced him to Karl?
