Going to Work in Cambodia
Early morning glimpse of the industrious folk. Well, except for the wee one below.
Fishing on the lake...in monochrome.
Monk taking a morning bath (see soapy body and nearby water pump). I'm so grateful that these lovely Cambodians let me take such intimate pictures as this.
This woman is cutting ice with a saw, in the market. I think the village people must only have iceboxes - big guess.
Carrying coconuts on bicycle. Many people ride bikes to work, some with their wee kids in front and another family member behind. They must have amazing calf muscles! The more fortunate ones have motorcycles to carry the family.
Hi Judy!
ReplyDeleteThis is Dominique, Yvonne's daughter.
I just want to thank you for sharing your journey.
Sometimes we, myself included, get so caught up in our own life that we can't see anything that exists beyond it. We hurry through it worrying about what clothes to wear, what shows to watch, ect.
You're blog is so refreshing!
It reminds us that everything doesn't have to be so complicated.
The more our lives are obscured by meaningless mush the further we're pushed from truly living them.
I'm sure this trip will, if it has not already done so, change your life!
I only hope I too can someday go on a trip such as this!
You're blog is very inspiring!
Thanks again,
Dominique
Thanks Dominique!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful thing to say - you made my day. Because you read my blog and responded, I feel like I've connected with a friend while in a foreign land.
You WILL take a trip like this, I'm sure. Travelling alone is richly rewarding (in safe countries).
And, yes, this trip is changing my life. It is encouraging to know that at age 60 life can still be full of adventure and growth.
I hope Yvonne brings you to lunch on one of our next get-togethers!
Judy: loved these photos! Cambodia was really the people's journey, wasn't it...such a snapshot of their lives. Thank you for sharing.
