Rubber boots, anyone?

It's days like this that I wish I'd bought those big boots at Target.  They seemed so impractical...but they were cute.  It doesn't rain much in Charlotte, but I thought about buying them to bring to Cambodia.  Needless to say, I talked myself out of it and figured that I would just wear flip-flops that can get wet.

BIG MISTAKE!

I should have followed my gut instinct and bought them, no matter what kind of space they took up in my suitcase...because I can hardly step out of my house without losing my feet in the water and mud.  I actually lost a flip-flop the other day and thankfully another girl came along and was able to get it out for me.

The kind of "vehicle" we tend to ride around in is essentially a cart attached to a motorcycle....not a closed cart, mind you.  So when you are sitting in the back and there is near monsoon weather going on around you...well, you are going to get soaked.  

Thank goodness I don't melt.  And even though I am not the biggest fan of getting muddy, it does wash off pretty easy.  Not even the change in climate like this makes me, even for a second, wish I hadn't come to Cambodia.  Just that I had bought those silly rubber boots...

(still having trouble with pictures...for all those blogspot friends out there, do you have any suggestions?)
