New photos

Hi – took a few minutes this evening to repair the previously non-functioning “Galleries” page – where you’ll find a few photos of my “au revoir” visit to Wat Opot this week. There are more, but I wanted to share these while waiting to put together something more extensive.

I’m enjoying my last evening in Cambodia by doing what I spent so much time doing here – surfing the web in the hot, moist air in Phnom Penh, while sipping a vodka tonic… Ah, the good old days!! I’m both sad and glad to be going back to France – I feel very strongly that this is just an au revoir, so I don’t feel any urgency about “one last such-and-such”. I’ve been able to see the people who count the most to me here in Cambodia before heading out (with one or two exceptions) and they’ve all been wonderful, as have the people of Wat Opot and Phnom Penh – helpful, attentive, friendly.

And it’s going to be nice to be in a snug place with friends, in a country where I actually have health insurance… even if I don’t have a home of my own there at the moment. I’m looking forward to seeing people, enjoying Paris and the country, planning a visit with my family in Minnesota, and getting ready for my class at Middlebury this summer.

Onwards, she says, doing wheelies of all sorts! The traveling is not done, never done, halleluia.

XOXOXOXOXOX
