I took a few pictures of my trip to pick up the @kidsisters from school today, as well as a few shots of the beautiful river.
A Beautiful Commute 🛺
I'm slowly getting used to the fact that even though it's not the rainy season yet in Cambodia, it might always be rainy season here in Steung Kach. We're not only close to the Gulf of Thailand, but high in the mountains, so I think that's why we catch so much rainfall. No matter, what by the time I reach Thmor Da where the @kidsisters study, the weather feels hot, dry and oppressive.
A Quick Change Of Clothes 🎽
Monkey-B and Srey-Yuu usually ride to school in the morning with our neighbor on his motorcycle, and it's quite chilly in the morning, so her solution is to wear athletic clothes under her public school uniform and rip it off like a superhero when she gets in the tuk-tuk. I've told that her raincoat would be an easier solution because it will also block the wind, and she just rolls her eyes at me and let's me know raincoats are for the rain.
Run For The Hills 🏃♀️
Knowing that Srey-Yuu is not a fan of photos, I knew I'd get a good natural shot if I snapped a picture before she looked up. Indeed I was right, I managed to catch her mid-stride running around the corner to break free from the schoolgrounds. With Srey-Yuu onboard, we headed back to the mountains as usual. As soon as we begin to gain altitude, it's usually back to clouds rain, and fog.
A Sunny River, A Rare Treat 🏞️
When we got home I told the girls we have to swim today because it's been too many weeks of constant rain. The river was also a bit clear because of the lack of rain for a day or so, and you can see the little cold pool I've been building. There is a creek across from us that joins the main river in our backyard, and this water is usually colder and cleaner, so this little mini pool often still has clear water even when the river is running brown.
I am still in disbelief of the beauty of our surroundings, but this is home. I left my phone in the hammock hut and we crossed the river to explore the creek further upstream, but my wife put her camera in a plastic bag and documented this adventure, so stay tuned for that.
