A family visit - in pictures

Today was spent visiting with my friend Savuth and his family. After three emotional and physically tiring days I am going to let some pictures tell today's stories (Let's see, 24 pictures, should be worth about 24,000 words if my math is correct). The drive out there and back also gave me my first chance to see the condition of some nearby countryside.
It was great, albeit tiring, to see the kids again given their enthusiasm for my visits and naturally nearly boundless energy. I always love the food his wife cooks and it was very exciting to see the plot of land Savuth has recently purchased to move his family from tenants to landowners, a status which in a place like Cambodia still means a lot to an individual, his family and the society at large.
It was cool when he showed me the sale and registration documents which still bear thumb prints versus signatures as the primary proof of identity. And I discovered today that kids all over the world do love Dr Suess' "Cat in the Hat" series even if they don't quite understand the words. I guess my gestures and acting was better than I thought. Maybe a second career on Sesame Street?
Enjoy the stories.

I was back on the website getting the address for someone else we know coming to Cambodia soon, so hopefully they will book Savuth. Its wonderful to hear that Savuth has purchased some land. That's fantastic. Shame about all the flooding recently. Amazing to see how much water is still around the place. My friend Jenny, who hired Savuth recenlty, was very lucky in that she was there the week before the rain came..
Have a great time.
Regards, Simone
Thanks so much for referring the website to friends as you did with Jenny. Keep 'em coming! I have been having a great time and already am thinking, okay, when can I return next time. Sunday I head off to Laos and that will be a totally new adventure. Hope all is well with the family.
