Winder and I rode up from Chau Doc, Vietnam to Phnom Penh, Cambodia earlier today. Right now Winder is off at Tuol Sleng and the killing fields – and I am heading back to the hotel to jump in the pool. Tomorrow we go to Siem Reap and then Monday and Tuesday we will tour [...]

Dad and I met Thao and her family, my Vietnamese teacher Co Phuc and her daughter, and another couple we’re friends with, Thu and Tam, for dinner at Ngoc Suong restaurant last night. We had a great time and ate and drank a lot! Dad and Thao in front of the restaurant: Thao’s niece, Bao [...]
