My monk!

First temple in Phnom Penh and the monks showed us around and even showed us how they lived! This was a first for me, and I'll never forget it...

Genocide Museum

Cells where prisoners were kept and killed.

Genocide

... it will be interesting to watch as this case finally unfolds...

Northbridge

Like we're entering a palace!

Northbridge classroom

Pretty snazy set-up and students.

The Cody's

Fun dinner after a fun day at school with the Cody's.

UNESCO

Beautiful building in Phnom Penh for a beautiful cause.

Coca-cola

These children came up to us while we were eating by the river in Phnom Penh begging for money.. we offered them cokes and they sat down and acted like they hit the jack-pot, high-fiving and all smiles..

Sihanoukille sunset

Holiday weekend... tons of families out and enjoying the water.

Treehouse in Koh Rong

Not a bad place to hide out for less then 20 a night.. no walls, hot water, or electricity, but pretty much everything you really need here..

Snorkeling

Batfish

Love these guys... and they love the camera!

Angelfish

Another favorite.

Stingray!

He's hiding.. but still somewhat scary and beautiful at the same time!

Funky coral

... looks like something I'd love to sit on, but that'd probably be a very bad idea..

Jelly-fish; kings of koh rong

These guys were scary!

Sunset at Kep

After the seafood market, great way to end a great adventure in Cambodia.

Happy Holiday in Cambodia
Hi Laura, Thank you for visiting Cambodia and hope you had a great time. Please come again! My wife and I are planning to retire in Cambodia next year...after living in Twin Cities, Minnesota for the last 31 years. We are thinking about helping the orphanage centers or the others. All the best! Theary St Paul, Minnesota
