Hi Richard and Carole! This is great you do enjoyed a lot. I like to hear your nice narration. I have come with you all the time this is because of your narration accordingly to. I like the place where with rock mountains and enjoy seeing t
he rock climbers. I know Richard is very good and skill rock climber as you did while you were visiting Thailand and done in the United States of America as well as Carole does so well, too. I think the road you travel along with it is almost the same as our roads in Kampuchea. OR-KUN! Good Luck! See you then! From Vatana in Siem Reap, Angkor, Cambodia!

Carole and Rich - we can't wait to see pics of the Hawzien area and the churches - they sound amazing! I could probably climb up tot he church, but I'd have to live there forever, as climbing down would be way too scary!! :)Carole - hope
