Happy Birthday to you!!!
Hi Jackie!! Happy Birthday shout out to you!
So we are like rock stars here…pushing through our fatigue! We got checked into the hotel and then ventured out to see the sights. Despite the stinkin’ heat we did pretty good…we walked down the main street, dodging tuk tuk drivers and fruit stands and motor scooters etc etc. Scoped out a good spot for a massage and saw a couple very nice old Wats (one was over 500 years old). Walked through a Cambodian cemetary (not sure if we were supposed to do that or not–but once in, we had to walk through to get out right??)
Had early supper at the Khmer Kitchen. Poor Russ ordered what we were all sure was a good choice…but it was by far and away the most incredibly spicy dish i have ever seen. He confirmed it was indeed the most spicy thing he has ever eaten. But aside from me having a couple bites and Troy trying a bite…he ate almost all of it…because it was darn tasty! But his eyes were watering and his nose was running and his face was red. What a sight!! Poor guy…OK–lesson learned, we must remember to ask for “No Spicy”. in the hopes that it will come in at close to, or under a 2 star spice dish : )
Oh yeah–and Troy and Russ did stop for massage on the way home–Russ assures me it was a very well spent $5!!
BK and I were pool bound and nothing was getting in our way : )
Planning on being up and at breakfast for 7am, as our driver is picking us up at 8am and we are heading of to Temple time (Angkor Wat)
Just waiting for the clock to move ahead a little bit so we can call Jackie and wish her a happy happy birthday!! 5:26am is probably a little early yet–teehee
