Postcards, Mister?

Love, love this photo.  The tree, the roots, the stone gate of the temple, and the girl in pink, holding a postcard up to Scott.  We saw many children around the temple areas in Siem Reap selling souvenirs to tourists.  This little one had packs of ten postcards she was selling for a dollar.  She counted to ten to demonstrate how many postcards in a pack... not just in English, but also in Spanish, Chinese, French and several other languages.  We had largely ignored these little peddlers most places we went, but this little bit of a girl caught Scott's attention.  He asked her to name the places pictured on each card, and she knew them all... couldn't resist buying a pack from her.  If you get a postcard from us, this is where we got it!

I just want to say that all of my comments are being posted from "Mrs. Stevenson" because I'm writing from my school account. I'm still Rebecca, just dressed up.
