The Latest Adventures of Peter Reichman

Ry and I were a little excited when last Tuesday finally rolled around. It may have been an ordinary day for the rest of you, but for us it meant that Pete would be coming home from his three-week stay in Cambodia. We were so excited in fact that I got to the airport forty minutes early:)

Pete went over to do research for his final project to finish his Master's in Public Health. He had a few hiccups along the way (ie. he got his luggage four days after he arrived), but overall he had a great trip. We both had some lonely moments without each other, but I kept telling myself at least it wasn't the two months he left for last summer. I was just glad he got to take advantage of such an AWESOME opportunity. Here are some pics from his latest adventure.

Some of the delicious food offered in Cambodia. Ry was obsessed that his Dad was going to eat bugs so Pete tried some crickets just to tell Ry he did.

Handing out disposal cameras to elementary school students. This was part of his research method he used called Photovoice. The kids took pictures of things that made it hard to stay clean and healthy.

A temple at Ankor Wat-part of the movie Tomb Raider was filmed here

A buddist monk at one of their temples

This land mine was right outside Pete's bedroom window, an unfortunate sign of the horrible civil war Cambodia experienced.

Wow! What an adventure! So cool about the Indiana Jones temple...not so cool about the bugs and the land mines.
Glad you are once again reunited with your hubby.
Miss you.

You guys have been apart a ton...have any tips on how to make it through the separation? Hey I am in Utah for the next month and would love to get together if you have any free time. I think most of the rest of our Ghana group is far away from Utah.
