A somber day today as we visited the Toul Sleng museum of genocidal crimes and the Killing Fields of ChoeungEk. A number of us shed tears as we were moved by the stories of the atrocities suffered at these sites. The tree where children were beaten and killed broke my heart, and the number of bones kept in the mausoleum was overwhelming. We met one of the survivors of Toul Sleng and purchased his book. It was a lot to take in, and we spent some down time afterwards at the pool and then took a cruise on the Mekong river to gain some pep and happiness back in our steps.
