We were incredibly touched by the children of Cambodia, who have seen such an ugly past and are still dealing with an uncertain future. This adorable little girl accompanied us on some our sightseeing at Angkor Wat.

Le Page Park – camping on the John Day
With fall approaching upon us, we wanted to get in as much late season camping as possible and fishing on the John Day was calling!

We loved Bali; the scenery, the food, the people, the culture, it’s an amazing island. The local artisans are expert carvers, as evidenced by our lodging in Ubud. Off a dusty side alley and through a falling apart door, we came upon a sort of Eden, all at a bargain price! We could have stayed forever.

Barcelona is one of our favorite cities in Europe and we are endlessly amazed by the gorgeous Sagrada Familia.
Lake Billy Chinook – Oregon

Foto Friday once again comes to you from Vietnam, a gorgeous country, seeped in history. We really enjoyed our time in Hoi An, one of the few cities not maimed by the war. Wandering the narrow streets is like walking back in time to the colonial era of the country, smelling french bread baking next to a street cart selling fish sauce – a perfect combination of Vietnamese society.

Malawi was one of the countries we’ve visited that really changed us. Extraordinarily poor, extremely friendly, the people of Malawi will steal your heart. We will feature an entire blog post of the children we met along the way but for today, a sunrise photo over Lake Malawi.
