Saturday Morning in Phnom Penh

I don't know if you have heard or not, but there is a huge blizzard in Colorado right now.  Over a foot in Denver, and it's still snowing.  I am somewhat homesick, I loved me a good snow day.  But instead of wallowing in what will never happen here, barring some act of Buddha, I decided to take a walk this morning, and appreciate what I do have here.  For a bit I tried to relate how far I walked in Denver terms, from my apartment to the Independence Monument was half the distance I would walk to Goosetown.  Walking to the Royal Palace was about as far as the Capitol, and so on.  With my head phones on, I was oblivious to the constant "Hey Lady, tuk tuk?'s" I am normally bombarded with, and with the most random mix my iTunes genius has yet to come up with, I walked around and fell in love with the city all over again.


yes, they are pushing that car to make room for another. the parking dance, i like to call it.








now that is what I call I tombstone.  





I am obsessed with this building. I have no idea what it was, but wish it could talk.







Two monks walk into a wat...


I wish this tree could talk too.

So you can have your snow, I'll take this colorful place!  (But I still miss a good snow day...)

  1. Hi Heather, I am a friend of Jessica's and we have spoken often about you and your exciting journey. In fact, you were one of several Adventurers that have inspired me. As a result, I am planning on taking off a year to travel around the world and would love your thoughts on Cambodia etc. Best time of year, good
    Hostels in the area. Jess even said she might join me at some point. I look forward to hearing from you. My email is rosemaryz@aol.com
    Best, Rosemary Zraly
