It is yet another beautiful day in Cambodia. Our day went a little different than planned. Annie developed an allergic reaction to a medication her doctor had put her on for the trip. She has a rash all over. We went to the International SOS which is a very good western doctor’s office. This is the same place both girls had all their medical testing done prior to their adoptions. Annie was seen and all is well. She was given medication to counteract what caused the rash along with good old calamine lotion to aid with the itching. This has really helped.
We attempted to go to Child Safe International and found that it was closed until after the New Year. This is the place we made a donation to in honor of the guests at our wedding. It looks like we will try again on January 2nd to go there.
After everything, we decided to go to the Russian market. This place is one that you need to see to believe. Try to imagine a three foot walkway with stall after stall of small shops full of various items. The vendors see you coming and begin to ask if you want to buy something. In the mean time, you have other peddlers with books, cards, etc. coming up to ask you to buy something. As we walked through, we got a waft of dhurian fruit. It is vile smelling and you either love the taste of it or hate it. Since we all have tried it, we can say we hate it. Needless to say, we moved quickly through that area. We did pick up several more things for the girl’s gotcha day boxes there though.
It was back to the hotel and Sara took the girls for a dip in the pool. Annie got some reading time in the room. The girls are doing more of their homework and we are heading to bed early. We are in for another day of driving as we head to the ocean tomorrow.
