We loved our time in Ampawa. Life revolved around the river. The women would bathe in the river in the morning, kids would play in it during the day and after dinner families would come down and wash their dishes in it. As for me......I drank beer while my feel dangled in the river. Syd of course played with the kids and took pictures.

This was the real deal, unlike the Domeon Saduak floating market, which busses in tourists like cattle and sells them over priced items. Syd and I were the only caucasians at this market and prices were cheap.
