Fried Water

There are so many things I am thankful for since I have been living at my permanate site. To name a few, I am thankful for a host mother who cooks really delicious meals and who likes to cook me vegetables and feed me all sorts of fruit, my counter part Vanny who is becoming one of my closest friends here, that there are some volunteers who live close enough for me to bike ride and visit, and that we live near a provincial city that serves western food. I've also lucked out with having such a great group of volunteers to work with and that my family and I really get along. But one of the biggest things I am thankful for is that I live by a beautiful and desolate area that have a natural spring with warm water. It's called Tuk Cha, which is translated to fried water. On one of my first weekends here we took a sunday bike ride to this area which was about an hour and half away. I love little near by get aways. I'm sure i'll be biking out as often as I can.

We took a wrong turn and ended up crossing the creek when we didn't have to.

Tuk Chaaaaaaa!!!

Nothing better than having a picnic with some dragon fruit, bread and some other fruits.

Sam, a peace corps volunteer who has been here for a year. Great friend to have live near my site.

Num bai is how you say eat rice in Kamar which is just another way to say lets eat!

After our sweet day at tuk cha we rode our bikes through the soy bean fields. Riding our bikes in this complete remote area felt so free. <3
