Back to Work…
I’ve been on the road and out of the loop for a week or so as I traveled to Kentucky and then got caught up in all the unexpected goings-on with my family. There was a lot of running around both by car and by plane. (The photo above is sunset in Shanghai, China as I changed planes to go to Bangkok after a 15+ hour flight from New York City.) Now I am back in Phnom Penh and can start catching up with the photos and stories of the trip.
