We all made it in safely yesterday. We got settled at the mission house with Steve & Carolyn. After lunch and some rest, Scott and Andrea Sward took us down to the riverfront for some sightseeing and culture acclimation. We all managed to stay up until 8:00pm. However I believe my body was up until then but my mind checked out sometime between 5-6pm!
At 2:30 this morning I was ready to go again! I stayed in bed and managed to fall back to sleep sometime after 4am. We had a liesure morning here at the house. Stephanie and Ellie wanted to see Tuol Sleng, the genocide museum. I went with them for moral support. It is a very hard experience. Stephanie had to sit out part of the displays. The rest of the afternoon will be free time for us. Matt & Lois arrive from Kampot late this afternoon. We will go out for a team dinner then begin preparing for the Health & Hygiene seminar that starts tomorrow at 2:00pm.
The H&H seminar will be somewhat of a new experience this year. The local council is running it. Matt will brief us on what they have planned and what our roles will be. We did get to set the teaching topics so that much we are prepared for already.
I am going to go rest now before lunch. Check in again when I can.
