Koh Keo

This is Koh Keo. We always had a mob of children playing around the gangplank. In the picture, they are standing on a heavily traveled road that is slowly eroding into the river. There was not much of a central place we would call town center and there was not a market. But mangos were plenty here and several people brought us some. They are really good when ripened just right! Most of the fruits in this area are ones we don't eat at home. I couldn't even begin to try to write in English the Khmer name. I only liked one and we would think it most like a not so ripe peach. They eat most of their local fruit with sugar mixed with red pepper. Today they were eating "jackfruit" and it has a smell that is really not so appetizing! Ha! But they love it! gail
