Thailand-Cambodia-Thailand

The real purpose of a travel blog is to tell the story as it is happening, but since I was living it instead of recording it here I am with memories and photo's I would like to share.

I have been home for a few weeks now and keep thinking that I will get inspired to sit down and really do this right, but it doesn't seem likely at this time. I imagined all the free time I would have since I am not working, but have filled it with many things like, attending Unity Church, going to the gym more than usual, visiting friends and family, volunteering, and taking advantage of many free activities that seem to keep presenting themselves. My life is full and I am happily and meaningfully busy.

So, I have decided to Just Do It and have one less thing that I could do each day. I will attempt to give you an idea about some of the places we went and some of the people we saw. I took soo many great pictures that it's been hard to just pick a few. I am putting my scrapbook (it's more of a photo ablum since I am trying very hard to keep it simple) together and if you are interested just let me know and if at all possible I would love to show you the rest of the pictures and really share the stories with you.

It was such an amazing trip and although we did not journal much when I look at the pictures I have the feeling and memories of being right there and have the memory imprinted as if I can see, hear and mostly feel what it was like to be the foreigner but not feeling on the outside.
