3-2-11 Tuesday

We woke up and had our last yummy breakfast at Journeys Within before we drove to the airport and hopped on our 10:00 a.m. flight.  We got in to Phnom Phen and met Joseph who is a missionary that Carly had gotten in contact with before we left the states, and he had been living here for 16 months.  He picked us up with his personal Tuk Tuk and we dropped our luggage off at the Thi Ming in one of our friends room who was still here from the mission since it was too early to check our bags.  We got back in the Tuk Tuk and went to a very nice inside market, and afterwards started the ride out to the killing fields.  We walked through the informational readings and video and it was very heavy material.  The victims were sent to the Killing Fields straight after their time in the Toul Sleng prison.  There were 86 mass graves with 100-460 bodies found in each one.  It was a horrific time that sent Cambodia back in to the stone age.  Pol Pot's hope was to whipe out currency and cleanse the people through hard labor in the fields so that the country could begin again from year 0 and follow their communist leaders dilligently.  We walked through the monument in the middle of the area which held 9 glass tiers of bones from the bodies that were excavated from the graves.  To cheer ourselves up afterwards we went to one of the orphanages that Joseph works with and had so much fun running around and playing with the kids!  They gave us a work out!  We went to another orphanage afterwards that had more older kids, and the orphanage is located in an old monistary.  On our off roading Tuk Tuk ride to get there we broke the Tuk Tuk and had to have a new driver come and get us!  Whoops!  We stopped at a few markets to get some last minute goodies before we went out to dinner at a place called Jars of Clay.  It was very yummy, and it was truely a unique place becasue all the staff had been involved with human trafficing and were now learning new skills.  We said goodbye to Joseph, and we really appreciate everything he did for us.  We had such a busy and fun last day!  After a quick shower we headed to the airport and got on our midnight flight to Seoul, Korea.  We slept the whole way!
