Ancient Cambodia Lovin

We left Phnom Penh early the next morning and traveled 4-6 hours to Siem Reap, the tourist town adjacent to Angkor Wat. On the way, we experienced our first encounter with Khmer children. I was suckered so many times by these kids, buying their bracelets and postcards. "Only one dollah! You buy from me. Was your name?" They even got me to put a tarantula on myself (that one was for you, Hailey dear)!


Angkor WHAT? Angkor Wat.
We arrived late that afternoon, and after a dish of Lok Lak, went to Angkor Wat to catch the sunset.The next day...
was spent entirely at the Angkor Wat complex, the largest religious complex in the world. It was enormous; for a complete tour, I would suggest you fly here and visit. If you can't afford that, find me when I get home and I will give you a slideshow tour with all of my pictures. Until then, here is a taste of my favorite views. Seriously, the experience was just...soaking it all in. I loved it.















































Angkor Wat = Incredible.
And this trip was amazing. We left Monday morning and drove all day and all night, safely arriving at 2 a.m. in Sankamphaeng. Other highlights of the trip:

• Buying way more than I planned. They are good salespeople, the Cambodians!
• Eating at a Mexican Restaurant, in Cambodia, watching the World Cup- Nigeria v. Argentina. Can it get any more international than that???
• More great movie flicks.
• SWENSEN'S!!! The best ice cream this side of the equinox. I think it matches Coldstone.
• The longest trip ever.

Now I'm back to Sankamphaeng, back to work. Hope everyone is doing well where they are! Until next time :)
