Cambodia

A few quick words: I lost my camera between Thailand and Cambodia. It's unfortunate for two reasons. I took 3 days worth of wonderful photos that I will miss dearly (sorry Jim, it includes our Thai friend). Two, Angkor Wat is indescribable. I have never seena nything like it before. I'm spending way too much money on disposable cameras because I want to bring back as much of it as I can.

As soon as I left the plane, I had a good feeling. Cambodia is calm, simple, and beautiful. There are so many bicycles, motorcycles, and pedestrians. The whole area is just like the biking roads I road in McMinnville. It is hot here, but in the shade it's fine.

If you want to take a look at what I'm seeing everyday, go down to your video store and rent "Tomb Raider" NOT for Angelina Jolie (though i will easily forgive you for that) but for the scenery. Much of it was filmed here. It's not a hollywood stage. That place really exists and I've been walking around in it for most of the day.

Cambodiais exactly what I wanted this experience to be. If I had my digital camera, I could show you why.

I need to split because my motorcycle driver has been patiently waiting for me for the past half hour.

More to come...
