Side-Saddle to Tonle Sap

I don't have to convince anyone that I've not quite been the best blogger. Apologies my friends! So with this new year, 2009, I've resolved to better my correspondence via BlogSpot and e-mails. My blogging will be more general relating to the way of life here in Siem Reap, Cambodia. I'll begin this new year resolution with a series of 30 blogs focusing on descriptions so you may better picture the sights, sounds, smells, feelings, and tastes about this place. These first 30 posts will pertain mostly to the happenings on the Tonle Sap Lake and the ride to and fro.


There I am. Proof...I'm among the living!!! I know y'all were wondering about the matter the last few months. The last week and a half has been Florida winter weather. Low 60s at 6:00 am when hopping on my bike for the 50 minutes cycle out. Yes, what one cycles out, one must also cycle back! The scarf about my nose and mouth is quite normal. It filters some of the dust out of my breathing. Yea!!! The one about my ears is solely due to the chill hanging in the morning air. Behind me you see the large PCL boat. It's there we began a preschool for children who receive no formal education. So hop side-saddle onto the back of my bicycle and enjoy the ride as you balance out to Tonle Sap Lake!
