Day 10

April 3, 2008

Today I woke up to a stunning sunrise over the pool. I am completely emotionally exhausted from the last few days, so I asked Nancy if I could take it kind of easy. Melissa, Van and I went to the Russian market and got a few last minute gifts first. Next we asked our driver if he would bring us to a really good fruit stand and we spent 3 dollars buying a kilo of Rambutans, about 20 bananas, 4 mangoes, and 4 apples.

We went back to the hotel and changed into our bathing suits and for the rest of the day we layed by the pool eating fresh fruit and resting. It was unbearably hot, but the pool was just right so we were in and out of the pool every 5 minutes or so.

That night Van, Melissa, Julie, and I all went back to the FCC for our final meal. It was really fun to just talk and share what we were thinking about the past couple weeks. It was also very sad, because I fell in love with Cambodia and even thinking about leaving was heartbreaking. Then we all went back to the hotel to pack and get in bed.
