Today was the most group stress. It is hot, folks are sticky, and there is different sense of caring for each other. Amazingly, GP was able to get word to the eye man and I have my prescription for lenses in my back pocket. I will try when I get to BK. After my blog earlier, I walked to a little cafe down the street and ordered a salad and veggie soup and my large beer. The bill was $6 .. but the fun thing was they made the soup from scratch... as in potatoes, carrots, celery, green beans etc.. amazing.. could you imagine if you went to Jines and they came out peeling potatoes etc.. and you just sat in the 93 degrees.. sipping a beer as the soup was cooking. The food is very mild.. very fresh etc. Not sure I would come back here.. but I would like to know more of the people.
This afternoon we went to Angkor Wat...amazing...the art and monuments etc. just breath taking. About half the group climbed to top which I am sure would have been a spectacular view... but it was straight up and down and I thought best they don't have to get police to haul my body off the hill.
We had a good, but not American fast dinner. There was a mix up with some film today and one of the gypsies felt badly about not being able to gets some pics, so after dinner we walked to the Kodak store and picked up a few rolls for tomorrow. On the way we saw a place that had three TV and chairs.. about the 1/2 the chairs were full and there were more folks sitting on bikes and cycles.. again amazing.. poor, but nice and honest folks.
We are up again in the am for some boat trip and then a tourist trap. It was funny tonight .. we all said what was our favorite part of the trip.. Elephants were right up there.. but the one person who has spent most of the time alone ... said.. being alone. no surprise. Some are also flying home tomorrow... ..we had a very funny dinner trying to explain who was going home and who was staying and where I was going... it was one of those..had to be there.. but a good laugh at the end of the day. I will try to write when I get to the hotel tomorrow.. hopefully around 10pm... b.

Hi Bonny,
My mom (Sheila) asked me to write a message that she arrived home safely. She said to say that she had an incredible time and misses everyone and has been following the blog (and will attempt to write a message of her own tomorrow).
Well written article.
