On the Road Back to Phnom Penh
Today was another traveling day…Yoen picked us up and we headed back to Phnom Penh from Siem Reap. The country side is so beautiful when you are not dodging, cows, chickens, motos, bicycles, or slower moving vehicles. We stopped for lunch at the same place we had on the way to Siem Reap only this time we were able to get a “hut” over the water complete with hammocks. Maddie and Ana took full advantage of those.
Yoen told us more about Cambodian culture…wedding customs. The man must present a dowry to the bride’s family and the bride has three wedding costume changes. We think the girls should marry a Cambodian man so the man can pay for the wedding (ha ha).
We are back at the Hotel Cambodiana for the rest of our time here. We are relaxing this evening and going to the Russian Market tomorrow. We will have lots more tales to share then.
