Reuben and Rachelle's trip

Image
While Reuben and Rachelle were here, we took a trip to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Mostly we walked around the main part of the city, enjoying their parks, zoo, and the market. The first picture is Rachelle and Reuben in a Vietnamese restaurant that we decided to try; I think we all prefer Thai/Khmer food. Ho Chi Minh City is quite a bit more "progressive" than Phnom Penh, however, they speak less English there than here. They have beautiful parks so we enjoyed walking through those. Reuben is back in the US now and Rachelle leaves tonight. We hate it that their time was so short, but we understand having to actually work for a living. It was great to see them and we so appreciate all of you who helped them get here. The 2nd picture is of me, Reuben, and Rich in one of the parks. The 3rd picture is at the Royal Palace here in Phnom Penh. Rachelle hadn't been to a palace before so we went. Since the king is in residence there, a major portion of it is blocked off, but

Reuben is here!

Haven't taken any pictures of Reuben yet, but he did make it. Sadly, the same can not be said of his luggage. His flight out of Denver was delayed 3 hours so they moved him to a flight that left 25 minutes after he landed...in another terminal. So he barely made the flight to Seattle and his bags didn't. We did get the news that the luggage did make it to Seattle, but hasn't gotten here yet. But we are thrilled that he is here! This picture is just one I took of the sunset. Unfortunately, you never seem to quite get the vivid colors in a picture that we get with our eyes. The pinks were beautiful. Come see us in beautiful Cambodia! Love, Ronda
