Chris - Jan. 7

We havent had time to even think about jet lag since arriving in Phnom Penh. I am always emotional about returning as soon as I look out the airplane window and see the twists and turns of the Mekong and the land devoid of trees I think about the people and what they have been through and my stomach gets tied up in knots. It almost feels like the first time in 2000 when Ivey and I worked to set up the Singapore medical team for their first mission. Though now I have a small group of Khmer friends who have become my family.
I always try to maximize my time and start running as soon as I hit the ground. I need to see everyone and be everywhere in usually a short period of time. Those who know me see this as normal. Anyway the group has been great and put up with the fast pace. I have asked them to get on this blog and give their impressions of Cambodia. Hopefully you can get a picture of what we are doing and seeing. We are now in Battambang and we will slow down since we will be working full time at the Day Care.
That means we should have time to write
