Thank you so much for including us in your trip looks beautiful and you both look great looking forward to seeing you and the next blog marge

Great Job!
Hi Folks! What a great job and simply cannot believe what everyone accomplished in such a short time, including the beautiful gardens. From the expressions on the faces of your family, your team completed a wonderful task! Thanks for the update and love to you both. Annette and Jon

You Two are Quite Photogenic
Hi, Thanks so much for keeping us informed of your travels and for the good and probably tedious work you are doing. Your dedication to the betterment of others is inspiring. I liked your description of the dances and food too. And for being in a foreign and looks like hot climate you too are very put together. I tend to become deshabbile (sp?) after traveling awhile and long for my own kitchen. Have you encountered digestion problems in this region? You are right about the unimaginable past these folks have endured, makes our recent administration woes seem lightweight in comparison. Of course, the latest from my family hometown (New Orleans) is that the newly repaired levees are not going to withstand a Cat 2 hurricane and the new pumps (from an associate of Jeb Bush) have already failed. We don't take care of our citizens either. Marc and I miss seeing you both and hope to do so before long. Cheers to you. Jil Marie and Marc

poor children
Hi Judy and David...love reading about your trip...am reading Sidney Poitier's "The Measure of a Man" in which he describes his life in extreme poverty as a young boy on Cat Island in The Bahamas where he was born and raised. He talked about the difference between being poor then and now...although he/they had nothing, there was always love, a solid family life and a secure natural way to view his world and learn...I wonder how this compares to the children in the villages that you have visited...as compared to todays poor growing up in frightening cities who can't fish in the rivers and oceans or find food in the forest. Hugs Janice

Wow!
Bokor sounds really interesting. Can't wait to go back!

snow
I am sitting in the middle of winter with snow on the ground here in Wisconsin. Reading the blog is a bit surreal! How incredible to think of you two in Phnom Penh. Thanks for blogging - it opens my world. I cannot wait to hear about the gallery opening... pictures?

Love the view of the Tea Factory and the Hakgala Gardens.... and of course Judy and David look rested and happy!

So interesting
Thank you Judy for the pictures and your stories. I really enjoy all the information. Take care.
