Visit to a Cambodian River Village

We stopped in this rural river village as they are noted for their weaving. (See separate blog!) There is a Buddhist temple, a school, small store. We were told that the community is relatively self--sufficient and does ok! Life is very basic but the people we encountered were friendly, welcoming and seemed quite content.
As a side note, when the captain went too back from the shore he appeared to be stuck in the mud. After 15-20 minutes he was able to release the boat. Al and i could only wondered what would happen next since there is NO Cambodian Coast Guard to come to our rescue!
