Cambodia: Griffin; paddle boat to Gulf of Thailand fishing village









December 25, 2010

At the beach we got a paddle boat.(we rented it). First boom steered and me and mom paddled with our legs. Then Alice wanted to steer, so I got on the back of the boat and Alice steered. Mom said we would go to a fishing village that was on a coast in sight. We paddled for a long time, an acational jet ski would zoom past us. Mom told us the village was poor and caught fish and sold them for money. When we got super close to the village we saw dead fish floating in the water. There were boat’s with huge piles of nets on them, the moaters were a long stick with a michene on top and 3 blades at the end. Some of the houses were on stilts on the beach, some were on stilts in the water. There were children leaning out of windows to shout hello to us. Men were on boats that were leaving port. We drove thru the village 1 last time, then we turned around and went home.
Love Griffin.
PS; I wrote this myself, and, MERRY CRIST MAS.
