Siem Reap

We traveled to Siem Reap by boat. It was a beautiful way to see the country. I took about 5 hours. The next day we visited the temples of Angor Wat. We also visited the shops and the country side. It is difficult and very slow to add images so here are a few. Look for more photos tomorrow of the kids and their art work.

First Day in Cambodia

We had a safe journey to Cambodia. We wish to thank the monks for their beautiful blessing the night before. We felt safe with our bracelets. The trip was long but we had good conversation, books, movies, food and sleep. Once we arrived Landon gave us a quick ride around the city on his moped then we called it a night.

On Day one we had a wonderful early morning swim and then Landon hired a TukTuk for us to see the city.

First stop was a Buddhist Temple - We were greeted by an Elephant and lots of monkeys.

Landon gets a kick out of the monkeys.

In the afternoon we drove out to the Sunshine Kids orphanage that Landon is associated with.

All of these children were born HIV positive. Theyare truly delightful, engaging and very well behaved. We all had a blast making a collage, stringing necklaces and weaving bracelets.

This is the collage the kids made. Next week we hope to paint the wall and maybe paint a mural all together.
