The Long & Winding Road

Today is Christmas day and I'm in Cambodia.  Never thought I would ever say that in my life but thats how it turned out this year.  Matt and I started the day with a fruit shake and then headed down to the beach to relax in the sun and listen to Christmas carols.  I missed my family and friends a lot but it was actually really nice to not work on Christmas day.  I think Ive worked every Christmas day for about the past 6 or 7 years.  It didn't really feel like Christmas but thats ok becuase I still had a really good day.  Both of us definitely wanted to find some turkey for dinner so we looked around the beach for the best deal.  We ordered a $12 US Christmas dinner with all the trimmings and ate our turkey with sand between our toes.  It was really good except for the stingy portion of stuffing which really sucked cuz I love stuffing almost as much as turkey.  I took a long nap in the evening after all that turkey and then we did a little Christmas pub crawl along the beach again.  Not traditional at all but I really enjoyed my tropical Christmas this year!
