A visit from the Williams

Our brave buddies Sky and Kristin Williams came out to visit Leanne and I in Asia and, as expected from all of us, our time together was nothing but fun, laughs and rejuvenation.

We met them in Bali, Indonesia and spent the better part of a week navigating the mountains and beaches in Ubud, Nusa Lembongan and Kuta, three idyllic vacation destinations.

We wandered the cities, went on bike rides, enjoyed the coastal waters, Bintang beer and the only mellow surf we could find on the entire island.

After our time in Indonesia, we travelled back to Phnom Penh with them. They were able to see, experience and learn about our projects and life in Cambodia as well as take in the history and social issues that are currently plaguing the nation.

Their time in Cambodia with us was such a gift on so many levels. We were able to spend time hearing their wedding stories since we missed the ceremony after moving to Cambodia. We shared our common and not-so-common experiences of the last 16 months apart and were able to share with them the highs and lows of living in Cambodia.

 Our time with them was a blessing. We so appreciated their willingness to visit, travel with and experience our lives in Cambodia. Just like the old friends we are, regardless of time and distance apart, we were able to pick up and continue our relationship in the same place we left it many months ago. Happy, simple and abundant.
