Those of you who know Indi best know she is fiercely competitive. Anytime someone says, “You can’t do this” or “I can do this better” she steps up and proves ’em wrong. Sometimes, this nature acts on it’s own without her knowledge. This can lead to unfortunate circumstances, such as the fact that a mere few weeks after I break two toes and sprain my wrist she twists and severely strains the ligaments in her ankle today whilst touring temples at Angkor Wat.
She’s fine, nothing is broken … but we’re resting for a few days. We have lots to type about and should get some substantial updates up soon. We gotta talk about the awesomeness that is Cambodia and the Angkor Wat temple complex and let you know what we thought of Thailand, too.
The good news is that Typhoon Ketsana floodwaters have receded in Siem Reap, so we aren’t wading to dinner anymore. And no effect from the earthquakes south of here. So far so good. Aside from the toes, and the ankle, and all that.
For now, I’ve uploaded a plethora of pictures to Flickr! and put my best up on Deviant Art and my Facebook Photography Page (different than our main Facebook Rhys and Indi Page…links below!) As always, comments and critique are welcome.
Rhys Martin is an author and photographer from Tulsa, Oklahoma. His love of travel was awakened in 2009 when he sold all of his possessions and left the country. For ten months, he lived out of a backpack and explored southeast Asia and Europe. When he returned home, it was with fresh eyes for his home state.
As he drove the back roads of Oklahoma, Rhys discovered the significance of historic Route 66 to the greater American story. He has traveled all 2,448 miles of the Mother Road and continues to seek out the quiet Main Streets of the Midwest.
Rhys's travel writing and photography has been featured in numerous publications, including Tulsa People Magazine, This Land Press, ROUTE Magazine, Nimrod Journal, The Oklahoman and Tulsa World. He wrote the book Lost Restaurants of Tulsa, which features the stories of nearly 50 iconic eating establishments from the city's past. He has also been a contributing author to multiple Route 66-based travel and history books.
Rhys is the President of the Oklahoma Route 66 Association and serves on multiple boards and commissions related to the Mother Road and its upcoming Centennial in 2026. He loves to connect with people and share his experiences.
