                   Josh and I spent a refreshing 5 days in Sihanoukville; a province of Cambodia located on the gulf of Thailand, known for its laid-back feel and sandy beaches. We hopped around to different cheap guest houses for the first couple of days and then finally settled in at Thida’s Inn for $8/night. I think it was the free wifi and excellent pizza that lured us in. It also didn't hurt that it was only 3 minutes away from the beach.
                 We went to the beach every afternoon where we would wade in the warm water and relax with a fruit shake I’d have to say my favourite times were when we would return to the beach to watch the sunset. What is not to love about sitting so close to the water, hearing the crash of the waves while watching a gorgeous orange sunset with the love of your life? Sometimes we would stay into the evening and partake in a delicious $3 barbecue from one of the many cheap restaurants along the beach.
                  It was an awesome little vacation where we just relaxed and enjoyed each other. We know that we will soon be very busy and getting away to the beach was in our estimation, very worthwhile.
                 When we returned to Phnom Penh we had another culinary experience that might have even been more fun than the beach barbecue. We went to a small, hole-in-the-wall kind of restaurant which served authentic Indian food. For $3 we each received rice, 3 bowls of sauces (chicken masala, vegetable masala, and chicken tikka) plate of chopped vegetables, naan bread, and a fruit salad. It was good thing that we hadn’t eaten all day. There was so much food being brought out to us that I actually felt kind of uneasy about it. We ate what we could and it was delicious. I was also more than a little excited to try some authentic chai tea.
                 It’s evident that Josh and I are entering a new season in our lives. The last month has brought quite a bit of change but in the midst of uncertainties about the future, there is also an excitement for what God has in store.
                  I am glad when I think about how God’s plans are good. We only see our present situation but God can already see the end. We can trust God to lead us into the good works that He has already prepared for us.

            Sounds like an awesome little getaway. I'm happy for you (and a eensy-weensy bit jealous!).
