Is this what Retirement is Like?

Our Internet is out at the hotel today (something about a car hitting a pole and breaking the wire). So with a great amount of effort, and after a full breakfast, we hop on our scooter and head to the cafe that serves poutine. My expert gives it a A- on the gravy, but only a B on the cheese curds (which are not really curds at all). For good measure, we also have a piece of banana cream pie while trying to catch up on things back home.

As noon approaches and the temperature really heats up, mango shakes becomes essential, so it’s off to Captain Chim’s. The distance is at least a block and the calories burned getting there clearly warrant some chicken fried rice. The carbs keep us going for another few hours of emails, blogging, and Facebook human interest stories (just can’t get enough of those).

With work finally out of the way, it’s time to find some dinner. Down the street we go to the Rusty Keyhole for their famous pork ribs. They are a disappointing fail, but we end up seated next to a couple of expats who regale us with stories of Kampot 15 years ago, when most of the buildings downtown were run-down derelicts that could be purchased for next to nothing.

By this point we’re throughly exhausted and decide to call it a night. Pretty much the perfect day – now if only Matlock was on.
