I wish I could capture all the feelings coming through my 5 senses, but words just won't do this experience justice. So many times these past few days on the beach in Cambodia I have looked around and said "Life is good." The sun, the wind, the green water off to the horizon. I spend all day in a lounge chair on the waters edge. The beach is lined with probably 75 bar bungalows behind rows of deck chairs and bright umbrellas. I have stayed at "Two Dolphins" for every meal and shake since I've been here and have really gotten to know the manager. I'm now with some new Irish folks and one has been practicing fire twirling at the waters edge all day and night. It is a big baton with fire at either end, and to see it twirl in the dark night is captivating. The locals are geniouses with the stick.
All day long locals come up to us in our seats and try to sell us fruit salad, sarongs, lobster, spring rolls, chips, massages. Mostly it's kids who are really fun, but can be a bit pestering. We have all bonded with the kids who speak amazing English. My favorite are a pair of 3 year olds who giigle all day long. Last night one of them fell asleep in my arms.
