What other way should we drink it?

"Oral Drinking Water"

Silk Caterpillar Cocoons Being Unwound

Unwinding the Cocoons

After the mulberry-munching caterpillars mature, they are left to spin
a silk cocoon. In my fairytale version of the silk story, the cocoons
are harvested after the critter exits as a moth. In reality, the
cocoons are left in cheerful, golden piles to die in the hot Khmer
sun. Then, into this boiling pot they go. The silk is teased from the
cocoons and unwound onto a big bobbin.

Lovely, golden silk cocoons! This is the natural color of raw
Cambodian silk.

Silk Farm Visit

Today we visited a silk farm. We're standing behind trays of silk
caterpillar cocoons.

Wat Bayon

The monolithic faces of Bayon smile down on a mere mortal, and say,
"Lady, lady, you buy 10 postcards, $1!"

Tomb Raider

Andi and Lexi playing Lara Croft. Tomb Raider was filmed in several of
the wats here.

Massive Tree Squats on Wat

Jeff says, "I've heard of a tree topper, but this is ridiculous!"

Sunset at Pre Rup

After a long, hot day of traipsing around visiting wats and dodging
small children selling postcards and "wat-nots" we sit and enjoy the
sunset.
