Rabbit Island, a some prime beach spot - rare for Cambodia which is primarily occupied by rocky shores. We had a nice day relaxing and swimming in a somewhat cool ocean. We took a short hike to the top of the island which had fantastic views at the old Khmer Rouge look-out point. 
Kep (just outside Kampot) used to be a thriving colonial town occupied by the french back in the 1700s ( i think) and a favorite of the Cambodian King. Its apparent this once quaint beach town was hit hard during the reign of the Khmer Rouge... this building has bullet holes in the walls. Most of the gated plots don't have any buildings remaining. Those that do are now occupied by squatters (these squatters have apparently taken good care of the lawn??) . It's pretty eerie to drive through, and many natives still believe these places are haunted.
Brandon doesn't have a mustache - it just looks that way because he's coated in dirt from our trip from Phnom Penh to Kampot (148km) on a loaded XL 250. The roads are paved but very narrow and under construction so you're on the dirt nearly as much as the paved road...

I was actually beginning to worry since I haven't heard from you guys or read any updates since I left...not worried enough that I would contact you myself ;) Glad to see you are both alive and kicking! The dirtbike trip looks awesome!! I miss our orphans. "WE LIVE IN AN ORPHANAGE!!!" always makes me laugh :D
Brandon, that's what your dirtbike looks like now. Bill and I have had some fun. :)
Who is dirty Sanchez with the dirtbike?
