Phnom Penh Hustle

After months of dreaming about it, I'm finally here--Phnom Penh, Cambodia. I just had dinner with Cristian a few hours ago after we rode around town in the bed of a pick-up truck. Piggy-backing on Cristian's earlier post, we got a new perspective (and perhaps a deeper appreciation) of the crazy driving skills required to navigate through the streets of Phnom Penh--it's not quite the same when you're in the middle of the action as opposed to standing on the sidewalk.
Fortunately for us, a family friend had graciously offered to pick us up and give us a tour of the city. Phnom Penh is definitely full of surprises and timeless splendor.

Well in less than twelve hours, Cristian and I will be visiting the Sihanouk Hospital Center of HOPE for Day 1 of our project. We don't have much time to lose and there is plenty of work ahead of us. I know the hospital has done, and continues to do, some amazing work in the country and I am truly humbled and thrilled to serve in such a small way.

Stay tuned, pictures are one their way....
