I amazed myself today and I'm not one to usually acknowledge that but I'm pretty freaking lucky!
So last night, good god My LORD, it was over the top in the pain and anguish department and by midnight on an evening where I meant to get in early and sleep well before I was to wake up at 4.....that never happened. (My blisters on my back though, now that they're not hurting so badly are incredibly impressive!)
I did though get up and while I had gone to bed wishing to leave Cambodia immediately, tired, angry, in pain....I woke up feeling none of that! Instead, happy to go in the pitch black to Angkor Wat, feel my way down the path to the viewing grounds because I didnt have a flashlight (honestly I brought nothing useful with me except for my hair products, which I am so glad I brought....my hair has been fabulous....way more important:)) and watch the sunrise, walk around the temples when basically noone else was there, run into people I had met before, have my first carrot juice in Cambodge...I am a carrot juice convert even if it doesnt improve my eyesight. Amazing!
It's good to know you're not in pain anymore and that your hair looks fabulous. By the way, carrot juice is good for more things besides your eye sight. It is great for your skin, hair and nails as well. Have a great day/ night!
ReplyDeleteanceI still think its your scotch-irish curly hair that does the trick for you! I'm
ReplyDeleteglad your back isn't so hot and painful and that you'll still give Cambodia
another chance. Speaking of hot, I don't know if the Preah Vihear temple
complex is on your ittenerary, if so you might want to save it for another
trip. It's part of a border dispute between Cambodia and Thailand and as
a result both countries have troops in the area and according to the US
embassy in Bangkok shots have occasionally been fired by both sides.
Nothing new in Thailand other than the State of Emergency however all
americans are advised to register on line at: https://travelregistration.
state. gov/ibrs. and they will e-mail any alerrts or warnings to you. "The Embassy urges all American citizens, even those visiting Thailand
for a short time, to register with the Embassy's Consular Section". Lastly, I'm glad that you have had good luck with toothless local women, but men may be a different matter especially if every other word they utter is "Arrgh" and they have a black eyepatch and a parrot
on their shoulder. Most of them are in the Sunda and Mallaca straits
playing hide-and seek with the naval prescence there but may be looking for new fertile waters especially if Thailand has it's attention
elsewhere. As always keep an eye on what's happening around you!
Other than that keep on adventuring the way you do so well!
