Cambodia: Week One


One week ago today we boarded a flight (a long flight) and headed for our new experience in Cambodia. I am not going to sugarcoat it, on our first day I was questioning our decision and wondering how we would be able to manage the chaotic streets, blanketing heat and different food. Perhaps I still have those questions, but just one week into this experience, I know that what we are doing is good and what is in store for us will be nothing less than extraordinary.

We purchased a moto, navigated the streets of the city, located where you can find deep-fried tarantulas (come to find out, they are found on any street corner), we purchased new items for our house, found a couple of great restaurants, took our drivers license photos, visited the oldest temple in the city and got over our oppresive jetlag. It has been a success, it has been a blessing and we are excited for what is to come.

These photos are of Wat Phnom, the oldest Buddhist Temple in the city, the first temple being built around 1350.
