Crossing the old bridge in Kampot on our rented bicycles.
Colin and Hunter on the concrete pitch behind our hotel in Kampot.This is a beautiful riverside town on the coast. Comfortable hotel with air-conditioning and geckos at no extra charge. Yesterday - Tuesday - we learned that morning monsoon rains have a similar effect here as winter snow in New England - late openings and days off. The work at E[ic Arts has been fulfilling - a good relationship. We will visit Kep with Epic Arts staff and students tomorrow morning, weather permitting. There has been some rain - torrential at times, light at others. Temperature in high 80s to low 90s and humid. Food is good. We had a visit by Hun Sen and his entourage at our hotel last night; apparently they are here to help oversee the hunt for the plane that crashed on Monday in the mountains nearby. We understand that, with the help of a US satelite, the plane was found this morning. Exciting times here in SE Asia. We are busy and happy. We plan to return to Kep on Friday for two nights - more rustic - on the beach before we head north to Arn's home on the Mekong and Siem Reap next week.
Thanks for your comments. Our best to all of you.

Good to hear that everyone is happy and healthy and that things are going well. Great pictures - keep them coming if possible. We forgot to comment on the Mt Fuji picture - great.
So as not to feel left out, we are having some "Cambodia weather" of our own; highs in the mid 90s, very humid, and a chance of a monsoon (OK, a thunderstorm). Take care all.
It looks beautiful there - great pictures. As Cheryl and Tim said, its warmer here than there! What an adventure you all are having - experience it to the fullest.
Awesome blog! Bravo, Dana, for your "cultural exchange" with string games. I wonder if you learned any new ones? The Foreign Correspondance Club sounds like something from a Graham Greeene novel. Are you all feeling very worldly and exotic?
I'm so glad that things are going great with Epoch Arts - what a beautiful spot! You all look and sound wonderful. Thanks so much for keeping us posted.
Great to see your pix and hear how you are doing. We are well but hot as blazes here. Flowers aplenty and tomatoes on the way. Nice weekend with Josh in NH. -Greg
