While J was is Nice, France for the ECIS conference, E and the kids traveled to the beach with another Dutch family during Water Festival. The kids are 11, 9, 8 and almost 6 and they are one happy gang. The new boogie boards added to the fun big time.
The view from the beach at the sixties style Independence Hotel in Sihanoukville. Mrs Jackie Kennedy stayed here in 1967. There is still a suite named after her.
Swim, water games and sculpture building after a rainstorm.
The gang expands as we run into other expat families from Phnom Penh!
Our friend P has the custom of building crazy sculptures on the beach at sunset. Everybody found things on the beach to add to them. After we returned home from this trip we were pretty tired. J arrived home the same evening and we all slept well that night. As I met my running group the next morning at 6 am I learned there had been a terrible stampede on the bridge to Diamond Island just a 10 minute walk from from our home. Many many people died and the country was in shock and mourning for weeks.
