End of Cambodian tour

---

I'm back! There was just so much adventure today, and so much fun, that I ran out of room in the last entry. So, here I am again, with a short note, but more pictures that depict the day.

I must say that we are all trying different things, from boat rides, to elephant rides, to ox carts, food, and so on. My heart was in my throat when I climbed on that elephant, but.......I know how to control my self-talk and I also asked for the oldest and slowest elephant (ha ha!)!!!! Didn't want one of those young perky things! Same thing for the oxen. Give me the oldest and most tired critter, please and thanks!!!!

So, sit back and relax. Here are more photos.

Happy Pat (and a bit sun-burned now too!)

So much fun, such great music.....Kevin had to get in one last dance in the hotel lobby! The staff were amused!

Oh, what a ride!
Our tour guide arranged for some of us to tour his little village, and then we were invited into their homes. Very humbling experience!

To Tina
I've missed hearing about your adventures for a couple of days. So glad to get the pictures today and the interesting journals that go with them. Is that elephant easier to ride than your bike? Just so you know, Lindsay has taken over the lead in the football pool (I knew you'd be happy about that!) Glad you're having such a great time. We miss you and will be glad to have you back home. Luv Marilynn
