Off to Pursat Province we go.

It is 5:44 am in Phnom Penh, the sun has just begun to rise and it will still be hot and humid, another day summer day in Cambodia. We are off to Pursat, which is a northwestern province of Cambodia. I will be there until next Wednesday and doing fieldwork. It is about a 5 hour car ride to the province.I got up at 5am because I did not pack last night and I thought it would be easier just to wake up early and do it. I am very nervous because as soon as we get to Pursat, we are going to be diving right into the work we are doing right away. This will be very experiential and very exciting. I hope that all goes well today. This might be my last blog until Wednesday, but I might have access to internet there. I am not sure, but we will see.
I have a feeling it might be hotter in the countryside. So I bought myself a cambodian scarf to fend off the extreme heat or it might just rain, since it is the rainy season. I am hoping our car ride goes okay because it is the rainy season and if it rains, it will be hard. Most of the roads to these outer provinces and then these districts and villages are all dirt roads. Rain, dirt roads and vehicles do not come out with the best combination, maybe fun. But we will see.
I got the butterflies in my stomach, it is time for a 5 hour car ride and to do some work!!!
