I am here finally in Cambodia

Hi everyone:
I made it to Cambodia after a seemingly endless 2 days of flying. I arrived @ 09:30 AM on Jan 3, 2009 and the temperature was about 70 with a cool breeze. Despite little sleep I unpacked and hit the streets. I walked about 10 blocks to a large central market and soaked in all the sites. The chef at the apartment complex that I am staying at made me and 4 other volunteers a Cambodian lunch and dinner. The meals were full of veggies and small slices of meat. Tomorrow I will be on the hunt for chocolate. I will try to post a few pictures tomorrow. Take care. Dr D.

  5. Hi Jim,
    I found a couple real good restaurants where the meals are like $2.00. One dish is snake head soup. And they make desserts out of blue pumpkin. I'll get the addresses to you asap. I'm thinking I should be there the beginning of Feb. Glad to hear you are doing well. Take care. David
