It is the rainy season now and the middle of the low season. I have not posted much as of late because there was not much to say since business is so slow. Slow enough that I decided to go home to Indiana for five weeks and spend some time with my Mom and family. It was fantastic but due to Mom's great cooking and my appetite I put on a few pounds. Now that I am back in Siem Reap I am on a diet (the staff know just what to cook for me) and off riding my bike. Today was especially nice. I was going to go for a ride around 3pm but walked out of the house to see a big rain storm come through. Around 5:30pm I looked out and the skies were blue and the sun beginning to set and off I went for a ride in the country with the green rice fields, grazing cows and kids playing and having fun. I avoided going anywhere near town (not the least of which to avoid the road construction that is everywhere) and had the best one hour bike ride. That is what is really beautiful about Cambodia during this season, my favorite time of year.
Business has picked up nicely but it is certainly down significantly from last year. June was off 50% from a year ago (and 50% off in low season is low!) so I will be interested to see how July has turned out. The worst is behind us so we are looking forward and getting ready for another fun high season.
