Our first night's accommodations were humble but clean. I think we both slept well enough just from sheer exhaustion. We were up & ready to roll fairly early the next morning, so we took a walk around the neighborhood. We even took a tuk-tuk (a two-wheeled wagon strapped to a moped) to the Russian Market.
The culture is so far removed from anything we Hoosiers know that it is difficult to describe. There is a strange mix of wealth & poverty here. I will say, the people are very friendly, especially the children. Although Phnom Penh is incredibly crowded everyone is pleasantly polite & easygoing.
Right after lunch we met with our contacts Ross & Rob who took us to Ruth's place. Ruth is a lovely christian sister who oversees two orphanages-one for boys & one for girls-called Love In Action. We had a great visit with Ruth & will be staying at her place a few days to help out at the orphanages.

Hi, Becky!
ReplyDeleteYour trip/blog was shared at Hearts@Home and I was very excited to read your posts. I will be praying for an excellent experience for you and Isaac, that you can remain taped to Jesus (what a cool mind picture!).
