There was more to show of the Angkor Monuments, including the ever amazing Banteay Srey. Twenty-two years ago when Anita and I first visited the Angkor monuments, Banteay Srey was a long day's motor scooter ride on rough roads to a temple surrounded by land mine warning signs. It was the pinnacle of our romantic memories of the trip. Today the road is paved and the signs are removed, and the pink sandstone is as evocative as ever -- but it is hard to live up to that former magic. Still, the video blog shows our guide Saron bringing the carvings to life. Thanks, Saron.
On the Mekong

Liam's Blog: Hi, I am Liam I am writing to my friends and most of all Mrs. Brown, my 4th grade teacher. So anyway.
June 23. We leave Fragipani hotel (in Phnom Penh, Cambodia) and take a tuk tuk to the boat dock so we can take one to Vietnam. The ride was long and boring especially because Grace lost her iPod.
We went through security and when there was around 5 minutes left on the boat Mom found it. We go to a not-so-fancy hotel (in Chau Doc, Vietnam) and stay for the night. There is really loud music so it is hard to sleep.

| Tug, heavily laden. Freeboard (the amount of boat that remains about the water) appears to be optional for several tugs we see. |

Scenes from an impromptu afternoon tour around Chau Doc:
Gracie drives some fish stark raving crazy.
Forward rowing appears to be mandated. The dog,
though, is just accessorizing.
