The lay of the land was in many ways far from what I had anticipated, Cambodia is a land between waters. Mostly lakes and waterways, a very swampy region. We stayed  in the capital for almost two days before leaving for Baray. It was a fun and thrilling time. First stop, after the local breakfast was the royal palace only about 1 km from the hotel Mito! We hired a driver to stay with us the whole day as there were places to go and sights to see. Packing the six of us in the car we set out. The palace was elaborate covering more than 7.7 km from every direction a breathe taking display of the  old Khmer Kingdom’s wealth. After lunch it was time to visit the Killing fields, just 15 Km away from the city of Penh Phnom. The history of these fields will leave you floored and there are no words to even express the pain and suffering that rings in your ears. During the Pol Pot regime more than 2 million people were murdered ruthlessly in just a few years. The way in which they were killed is devastating to the human heart hard to believe people can be so very cruel. Walking  in silence the team listened to the history unfolding as we walk to each spot on the killing fields that represented the locations of torture or death. Tears found their way down and I took a death breath as the moment was relived. Such horror, man cannot seem to learn from the pasted they just go on killing and fighting for power and wealth and all this for what I ask you? What does it leave what is the legacy, a vein that remains constant BLOODSHED and for that they toil all their days. Quietly as a team we made our way back to the hotel, with heavy hearts we went to sleep. The next day taking a TuckTuck to church, I enjoyed the sights and smells of a local morning in town, the hustle and bustle of the crowds and traffic ever so much to take in. What a beautiful country and how amazing it was to look around me and pray for my team, and my fellow human beings that met my eye.
