Morning trip to Ream National Park and a long boat trip down the river thru the heart of Cambodia’s largest preserved jungle and Mangrove swamp I was a bit concerned when they loaded 22 of us into the boat despite the sign that said in Cambodian something something 18 but hey I can swim and apparently there are no sharks.
Lots of birds and a few dolphins but most interesting to me we’re the fishing boats using nets to haul in river shrimp which they then dried in the sun. I kept seeing floating plastic bottles and thought wow lots of litter till I realized they were being used as floaters so fishermen could locate their nets

I experienced the same in the Dominican, however after our time (aka photo opp) with the children we were taken to a school run store with various crafts and goods made locally. We were told all proceeds went to the school. Those visits do pull at the heartstrings.
