A Beachin' Good Time

So... we were originally planning on expounding a bit about our beach experience, but upon further reflection, we think that the eat-swim-sleep description from last time covers about 98% of what we did.  We'll let the pictures and captions below tell the rest of the story:

From Shianoukville, we continued our way west-ward along the coast to the frontier town of Koh Kong, adjacent to the Thai border.  The main attraction that drew us there was the Peam Krasaop National Park, a stretch of protected land and coastline that is home to thousands of mangrove tree clusters that dot the water like floating islands.  We took a walk through one of the larger "islands" and then rented a boat to weave through the waterways for a more panoramic view.  This detour was well worth it as the pictures below will hopefully show:

Street Food Update:  We've been through quite a few places and had many a meal since our last update.  Here are some of our favorites:
