Saturday was spent shopping. So many pretty things to buy! I also learned how to push-start a van by putting it in third gear and popping the clutch. Felt like a scene out of Little Miss Sunshine going down the streets of Phnom Penh. Since Troy and I were the only ones who could drive stick, I got to sit in the front and push all the pedals while he and the others got out and pushed the van. Fun!
On Sunday I got to see some old friends. Bill and Owana Kidd and David Darrah arrived safely to spend some time on the boat. Bill has come to set up the lab on the boat and they will be here for a month. Dr. Darrah will be here for two weeks seeing patients with Dr. Watt, the ship's Khmer physician. It was so good to see them all again and I'm looking forward to spending time with them on the boat.
Monday was a quiet day for me. Troy and Tabitha took everyone to the boat, so I stayed home and worked on my data. I also took the first nap I've had since I arrived. Nice. Our next-door neighbors are doing construction on their house, and the hammering starts about 6:00 every morning, so it's no use trying to sleep in. They take an afternoon break though, especially if it's raining, so the nap was undisturbed bliss.
Tuesday it's back to work for a few days, until we leave for the week on the boat.
