 June 1-2.  Guides, trails, food and a cook are provided for your 2 to 4 day camping excursion.  Visit http://www.chi-phat.org for more information.  My first excursion is a 12.5 kilometer mountain bike ride to O'Malu Water Falls.  My guide, bungalow builder and proprietor, friend and Green Ambassador:  Vanak Tuy; bikes up one of the many hills (above).

The reason for long pants, long sleeved shirts, and pants tucked into socks:  Jumping Leaches.

Also watch out for spiders and vines.

A very special dinner with the Green Ambassadors.  I feel very priviledged to get to know them over the two weeks I spent in Chi Phat, especially the girls.  About the Cambodian people - very kind, gentle, never angry, and the most polite people I have ever met in my travels of 26 countries.  Even when my tuk tuk driver hit a scooter, no harsh words or looks were exchanged.
