Looking to invest internationally? I found some good opportunities. Read on.

Another morning in Cambodia. We were able to observe some monks coming down to our vessel and pick up breakfast.

They came in a procession.
Picking up our donations.
They showed their appreciation by giving us a blessing.

We, of course, had a hurry up and wait.

The meeting area before the crowd.
With the crew.

Then we went to land and waited again as we were oriented by Soken, our guide.

He described what we were to see.

First the Buddha welcoming us to the town.

Beautiful.

Then another graveyard for the families on the island.

The colors blow you away.

Then the gate to the village.

We were starting a mile and half walk around the village.
All houses are on stilts. When the storms come water is five to seven feet off the ground. Thus stilts.

From there we saw young children shelling peanuts.

Jimmy Carter peanut farming.

Here is a home over 100 years old.

The Princess and GOAT visited and had to remove their shoes. Oh my Buddha! They kept their socks on.

Here is the Husband and the Influencer looking at property for the international kids camp they are considering building.

Mikey is not paying attention.

Cows mean you have money. A bull is worth about $40,000. The more cows, the richer you are.

Ears down like this mean they are relaxed.

Then some other vegetables.

Finally as we were leaving we identified the year we were born and what the animal of that year was. I was born in the year of the rat.

Here is our vessel waiting for us. Beer and air conditioning is in our immediate future!

A great vessel!

The view from our stateroom on the river.

Do you think they are catching fish for our dinner?

We went to an 800 year old temple for our afternoon tour. It is Wat Nokur.

Carved over 800 years ago.
Showing how they fixed the Buddhas.
Buddha in the temple.
A banyon tree.
The crew who visited the temple.

One of the customs is people who are going to get married come to the temple months before their wedding and have over 1,000 pictures taken. Here are three couples we met at the temple.

What great outfits.

Then we went to the bamboo bridge. They build it out of real bamboo every December. Then tear it down in May because of the monsoon rains.

Over 1800 yards.
A close up.
Their destination. The beach.

Going through town we saw an ad for a dentist. Perhaps Tank wants to come back and work.

Love how they advertise.

Then it was back to the bus and home.

A great trip so far.

Then it was the captains cocktail party and thank you to the crew.

The captain and his mates. He did not consider me a captain.
The cooks
The team that served us in the dining room.
The bar team and spa team
The cleaning team.
The entire staff of 50 people. They were great.
The captain with Omaha.

My favorite server. Jackie Chan.

He was spectacular.

What a great cruise. See you soon.
