Cambodia

We spent the New year in Siem Reap, Cambodia in temples and small villages

The bas relief in the 12th century temples was impressive.  Our favorite places were the
small temples that had few tourists and had seen little reconstruction.

This fishing village is accessible only in the dry season by a dirt road.  The rest of the year only by boats.

The kids in town played around in boats and improvised boats when they weren't in school

In Banteay Chmmar (small town in the northwest) our guide, Peat, was also the leader of the local musician troupe.

He introduced us to locals (some of them his family) in their daily routines of fishing, house building  and silk weaving.

These versatile tractors had drive belts that could be connected to pumps and other machinery.
