HI all,
We have arrived in Phnom Penh thankfully. Sorry about the underlining - I can't figure out how to get rid of it. I have been under the weather so this will be brief.
The "3 day tour" was a bit rough. We upgraded out tour to get a bigger room and A/C. That said the hotels were horrible - in the middle of nowhere, roaches, bad food, no showers and the list goes on. The Mekong Delta is beautiful. The people are great. They are very poor and live on the water which is polluted beyond belief. We toured by bus, boat (large, medium and small). We say every manner of rice production - rice crackers, rice noodles, rice flour, rice husking to name a few.
Phnom Penh is a welcome sight. We had a time finding a hotel and at the eleventh hour we got a room in a nice hotel downtown and who should be there but our friends Krista, Ray and Lily. Ray has a gastro and has headed of to the clinic so Lily will chill with us while everyone recovers.

Sorry to hear that you are feeling unwell. I hope the "tour" improves...but I guess you're getting to see the country as it is, as opposed to the "tourist way"

Feel better kiddo ... nasty to be sick when you are away from home and it is soooo hot. The girls look like they had their noses turned up when they were in the "rickity boat" on the river.... was it smelly??? Take care if you can. Love you! Janet
