On july 1st we started the day by tuk tuking to the village. When we arrived several of the items for building the latrine had already been delivered. We started out by digging the perimeter of the latrine to be, the boys did the majority of the ground breaking while the girls helped fill the trenches with sand. Once the outskirts were dug and filled with sand we laid big rocks on top. The weather was extreme as usual, but we made lots of progress. After a little bit more of playing with the children (mostly with baloons) we headed off to see sayma (arns girlfriend, our groups close friend) promotional video for her new cd. After a lengthy lunch we headed off to go see Banteay Srei one of the many temples. It was a 2 hour tuk tuk ride, but the weather was nice and it was a beautiful temple with many intricate details. After that we headed to the land mine museum, where we learned about the history of land mines. especially the ones remaining in Cambodia. We started off July 2nd with an early rise to go see Phnom Kuhlen and the Holy River. Patrick, Dan, Ryan, Karen, Riege, and I went swimming at a elegant waterfall. Swimming was followed by a long hike upon another mountain. Where we saw another graceful waterfall. Our day was then completed by another trip to the Blue Pumpkin. (After diner every night the group has made a tradition to go to this delectable ice cream shop) A few of the groups personal favorites are vanilla brownie, raspberry yogurt, and dark chocolate. They also have a mouth watering bakery. It is our cherry on top of a glorious day in cambodia.

Yours forever and always,
