We went to CuChi for a day with a group of teachers we work with. It is an amazing system of tunnels they used during the war to hide from the Americans. The tunnels have kitchens, bedrooms, and storerooms in them. They lived down there for years. You could crawl from Cambodia to downtown Saigon! The tunnels are so small that American soldiers could not fit. (The one Julia's in has been dug out more) Pretty amazing.
We took a little roadtrip with 7 friends about an hour and a half out of town to visit a waterfall. It was kind of a "state/national park" type place. You could rent a big tent and stay there overnight; that's our plan for next time. It is the middle of the rainy season, so the waterfall was raging and full of sediment. We got into a small part of the river, but the current was still strong. Philip took a ride down the stream and one of the rocks took his wedding ring clean off. Unfortunately it was the day after our 5th anniversary.
How are you guys doing? I need to take some time today and read through your entries...I've been very bad about keeping up. Your house is doing okay and the folks who are staying there seem quite nice. We're doing lots of work on the house. Gotta go read all of your notes and catch up with what you guys are doing!
