We're back in Phnom Penh. We plan to spend Christmas here and enjoy the wider selection of food here. It's going to be a touch sad without our family and friends, but we'll manage. Perhaps it'll be good to be away from the "holiday season". Reflections on that to follow.
another snack fav. of Khmer people
this is a perfect example of small town Cambodia...yup that's the ticket counter, and the red dust of Ban Lang.
sticky rice...cooked in a sugarcane stalk and purchase at a bus stop
me... not about to belly-flop into the crater lake
our little puppy friend Venus...he sure reminded us of Denver The Buddy Man!
that's the best we got of an Irrawaddy Dolphin
The Mekong from the boat...wide and muddy!
sunset at Kratie
cows are often seen wandering the streets, this one is along the Mekong in Downtown Kratie. 
fried spiders for sale

Hi Erin & Brian!
I just love reading your blog and keeping up with your exciting adventures! Thanks for including all those pictures, they are amazing. I took note of the one with the fried spiders...yikes...I don't think I would have been able to try that! Take care of yourselves!!
Love Carole
PS Merry Christmas!
Wishing you all the best for a Blessed Christmas. I think turkey would be a lot better to eat than fried spiders. Stuffing just doesn't go with spider legs. Love you both. Mom Rowaan
The girl's mouth is open, and there's a fried morsel in her hand. But the hand is poised at a rather safe distance from "tasting", isn't it? Any pics with a tip of the leg sticking out from between clamped-down chompers? THAT would seem more like "tasting"!
Oh you of little faith....Jim, I think you're always the one to be skeptical with our photos. If I remember right you tried to accuse us of painting back drops when we were in Africa...and now you're demanding even more proof. Unfortunately that's as much "proof" as we have. I suppose you'll just have to trust us! Thanks for keeping our comments section full! :)
I'll try to behave better:) But, sometimes the best of intentions ...
