Our Cambodian Christmas Sleigh Ride

12/25/11

The people in the outlying villages here have figured out an ingenious use for overgrown railroad tracks that are seldom used. They have built these little bamboo platforms with engines and they zip along the tracks between villages. If they happen to encounter another car going the other way they just dismantle one so the other can get by. The cars are noisy and they clatter and rattle through some dense bushes, over some questionable looking bridges, and some jarring gaps in the track. It was like a long, flat roller coaster. Pretty fun!

I saw this rail ride in the online pics and wondered if you'd give it a try. FUN! Baylie looks more grown-up in every picture. She's gorgeous! xoxoxo
