We went on a group tour of some caves at Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park! I'm just posting the photos and might add captions in the future. Long story short, we hiked, learned about the Eight Lady Cave, wandered through a giant and beautiful cave with stalagmites/stalagtites/stalagnites millions of years old, swam through a cave,… Continue reading 02.07.2018 – Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park day 1
So our plane finally took off at midnight last night and we got to our hostel around 1:40am. WHEW we were tired. My body was still not cooperating with me so I went out in the morning by myself and went to the VinMart in the photo below and bought some dried fruit to help...… Continue reading 02.06.2018 – Da Nang
Today we went to the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum. It's what it sounds like. Cambodia had its own holocaust - about 3 million people were killed - and Americans aren't really taught anything about it. I'd never heard about it and I couldn't believe I hadn't. I won't go into a ton of details. But… Continue reading 02.05.18 Phnom Penh last day
We left for Phnom Penh today! We stayed at a pretty cool hostel that had a strong British vibe and influence; it was a cozy bar/restaurant on the first floor and had fun activities like pub quizzes and yoga on the roof. Sometimes Kyle sends me random photos... I miss him. Really miss him. I've… Continue reading 02.02.18 – Battambang to Phnom Penh
We went to a little cafe in the morning for crepes! (just your regular intersection...) When I found this watercolor in mid-creation, the guy who was working on it was nowhere to be found the rest of the time we were at the cafe. So I'll never know anything about him. But that painting was… Continue reading 02.01.18 Battambang
Only took pictures on my phone today, but have decent wifi! So you get to actually see some photos! Still absolutely planning to fill in the missing days. 🙂 I haven't been feeling well - not food/water poisoning, just my body confused why I'm not eating fresh veggies and berries all the time and instead… Continue reading 01.31.18 Siem Reap to Battambang
I am finding that a combo of phone and camera photos is working out nicely. I'm taking separate photos on my phone to send to specific people, but I then can forget to take them on my camera because it's too much work to take the same pictures of everything on two devices. sooooo anyway,… Continue reading 01.30.18 – Siem Reap day 5

Off to see some more ancient temples! We had the tuk-tuk driver drop us off at Angkor Wat so we could enjoy some extra walking. (Tree bark is pretty.) We went on a hike to the Angkor Wat viewpoint. It can be packed at times (such as at sunrise), but when we went there was… Continue reading 01.28.18 – Siem Reap day 3
