Since I have written recently about the beautiful sunrises here I wanted to share a picture that I took this morning from my balcony.

Human Rights Day
Neth and I had a very busy day of work today. The time just seems to fly by - as evidenced by the fact that the first time I checked the time today I discovered that I had been sitting in the same spot working on drafting a plan for a new client and it had been 6 hours since I began - without even standing up once during that entire time. So, after a 10 hour work day I began the trek home by moto. Traffic was thick tonight! I was driving down Russian Blvd (one of the major roads in Phnom Penh) when the traffic completely stopped in all directions. There was a long line of monks blocking the street in protest for human rights. I truck with a banner reading "Justice brings Peace" was parked nearby and many of the monks held Cambodian flags and signs. It was a completely wonderful reason to be stopped for 10 minutes to observe and admire their cause, their perseverance, and their courage.

What a life you're leading now, what a change! It is so inspiring to hear your words and see your photos. However, I don't see the images on this post and the preceding post. :(
ReplyDeleteHappy holidays! Are you returning to Seattle for Christmas? (maybe that's a private question via email...). Cheers
Great hearing from you Jill. This Christmas will be only the second one apart from my brother. :( I will be going to Vietnam with a couple of friends. I don't know why the pictures aren't showing up for you. They look like they have attached fine. Please let me know if it continues to be an issue.
