By the foot of the hill: Playtime!

Remember being a child, and have access to a large playground with sandboxes?
Yeah, that feeling.
Road trips are more fun with great company. Even if they are small.
Travelling with a nearly two-year-old healthy and active child was nearly over the top fun. Especially when a lot of energy from sitting still in a car followed by a delicious lunch needed to be expended.

Getting ready for a steep ride and hike
We had just had lunch after several hours of driving in cars from Anlong Veng. After a short break time in the sun, we were getting ready for visiting the temple on the hill, Preah Vihear. And got prepared for any occasion. Including cold wind, rain, strong sun and some gifts for the shrines and guards on duty. That is how Khmer explore their own cultural heritage.
A Toyota Hilux was hired, our seniors in the travel party got inside up front, and the rest of us was the cool gang in the back.
And then we were off to expend some penned up energy.

Needed a mental reset via a day trip to Grado, Italy! 🌊 Swapping the keyboard for sand between the toes works wonders.

Listened to the waves, felt the sun, just breathed. An espresso on the beach helped clear the head. Great for fresh perspective – maybe some coding inspiration will follow. ✨

How do you disconnect and find your reset away from the screen? Always looking for ideas!

Cumbres Toltec Scenic Railroad season starts at the end of May. Spring is beautiful. Often the mountains still have snow on the peaks, particularly in Colorado. It's like the wildlife moves in when the train quits running in October and they seem surprised when people start passing through again in May. 😅

Finished up a nice, internet-detatched drive out in to the sorta country today.

First one we took in over a month. Nice getting out to look at the pastures & fields. Managed to stay away from the tulip mania up north. Traffic was a bit nuts.

Didn't get to see "my ladies" (a local cow herd I insist on visiting). The farmer was spraying liquid fertilizer & gassed out the area! #ToxicAirborneEvent 😄

Been missing our visits to some of the local farmers, bakers, & cheese-mongers. Soon.

Food and drinks offering at Chheng Meng, Tomb Sweeping Day

Tomb Sweeping Day, “Chheng Meng” in Khmer, is a festival to honour the ancestors. The festival is of Chinese origin. Qingming is celebrated in Cambodia among the Chinese exodus, and among Khmer with intermarriage or with other strong relations to Chinese culture.
It is a celebration of spring, by honouring and remember the ancestors by cleaning and decorate their graves, pray and bring offerings of food and drink, money and high value items.
After the rites and cleaning of the graves, the Khmer family gathers for food, drinks and celebrating family, friends and neighbours at one of the family members houses. It is always a great honour to be invited to attend.

Photo shows a set up of food and drinks offering in front of a horizontal grave. The main item is a full-size BBQ-pork. It is surrounded by offerings of fruit, cake, juice, water, beer, and utensils. The offerings are placed on a picnic mat. The grave has a blue door and a front in a half-moon. The front is white, and the outline is red.
