I just wanted to send a shout out to y'all who have sent us messages/email!!
THANK YOU! We appreciate knowing you care enough to write and also to tell us about YOUR lives! Thank you!
Side note... Cambodia continued,
Not everything in Cambodia was harsh and sobering. We had fun too! Last year, we heard a speaker talk about Cambodia at Missions Fest. We went to visit her at "Rescue". It's pretty cool. Right now they have over 160 orphans. They try to keep a family feel as they have about 10-12 kids in each house and a dorm parent or parents. They also have about 16 houses for families who have members suffering from AIDS. Also, there is a house for grannies who have no one left in their families. And, they have a house just for babies.
Everyone who is well enough, works. Either in the garden, or on projects, or sewing. They have a volleyball/basketball court and even a couple of fishing ponds! The property is absolutely lovely, with loads of trees and greenery!
We enjoyed our afternoon there, hanging out with Marie and playing with kids.
OH! We rented a motorbike and cruised out there! It was about an hour ride. It was okay in the country, but I sure HELD ON TIGHT in the city!! Traffic here is like few other places. I'm not sure why they have painted lines for the lanes, as no one bothers to stick within them. Or, follow the direction of flow, for that matter! I was very glad to make it back safe and sound! Craig was sad that we had to return the bike!
So now we're in Northern India, enjoying the chai and the culture! And as always, ever learning!! Much love to you all! ~R

Welcome to our travel blog!! For the next 2 years (give or take) we will be discovering lands beyond our own. We hope to be going to: Fiji, Australia, Papua New Guinea, Thailand, Cambodia, India, Pakistan, Nepal, Turkey, Israel, Egypt, Rwanda, Tunisia, Morocco, and who knows maybe a few more. Hopefully we can portray the sights, sounds, and maybe even smells of some of the things we encounter.

No Way! Marie came up to HL/LC to share about Rescue last winter! I had her and her son-in-law Blaine over to my place for an afternoon. She is such a neat lady! I'm totally jealous that you got to see her at Rescue! If you ever go back, tell her I say hi!
Yay, chai! :) The motorbike sounded fun. Did they give you helmets?
I am also as jealous as Leona!! That's so great that you got to visit Marie and see Rescue...very, very cool! She's such a neat lady!!And thanks for keeping up the blog...it's nice to keep up with what's happening!!
What a small world!I don't think I've ever met a more ambitious lady than Marie. How fabulous you got to see that wonderful mission!
Hey Ruthie, can't wait for the next blog! Soak India up, it's the most incredible, diverse, beautiful and heartbreaking country. I love it!
