Next up...

Hello everyone...again I would just like to take a brief moment to thank the country of France for my baguette every morning.

We are leaving Seim Reap tomorrow AM on bus and heading to Phnom Pen, the capital. We will only stay a day and then directly to Kep and the beach. After a few days there we will head into Vietnam by land crossing. Seim Reap has been a wonderful quiet town. I am amazed at how comfortable I feel stepping out into busy traffic and simply crossing the street in the middle of it (no stop signs or traffic signals here...people just seem to pick up on intention I guess.)

The capital of Phnom Pen will likely be a complete change to the wonderful solitude we have enjoyed here, after coming from Bangkok. We will be able to take in the killing feilds in Phnom Pen and we both look forward to seeing the monument in a strange sort of way. Iguess this is what the rest of the trip will be about....the destruction of war and its long lasting aftermath. Certainly makes me think about our current occupation of Iraq and what is next for those folks when we are "gone."

I have been missing the news wondering if the bottom has fallen out of the economy and how Obama is taking it. I calculated that I will miss half of the first 100 days in office. This is disappointing. I hope all is well. People all over here are so delighted by him and excited for America as well. Yeah.

Just a quick note to let you all know that we are well, and very sweaty and having our laundry done by someone else for $2. Will has jumped on this bandwagon as well. I love handing my laundry off and having it returned the next day ironed and folded...yes, even the t-shirts and underwear, for anywhere from 50 cents to $3. So nice. Now if I could just find a brow wax and tint I would be set....hey Nance, could you call Kimberly and try to get me an appointment for the 12th, 13th or 14th? I will pay double! Dont think I can wait until the 18th.

Happy Valentine's day everyone. When you all wake up it will be this day where ever you are. They are selling lovely single roses all over town...its pretty sweet.

Ciao
C
