Anything I could say to describe Angkor Wat would be an understatement. The enormity, magnitude, and beauty of the place is hard to understand, even when you are looking at it. It was fascinating. Like nothing we've ever seen. Not just another temple or Wat. We toured several other of the many sites too. Each new ruler over the years had a new place built, and as power changed so did the religions inside. So whether it was Buddha or Vishnu that was worshiped, these were marvelous places. We oooed and awwed the day away, and had a blast. We were inspired to do yoga, (try, we really don't know how) contemplate life, and pose like the art on the walls and the statues on the entrances. We climed to the top of one and watched an amazing sunset. This was by far the highlight of Siam Reap, Cambodia. I heart Cambodia!
First night here we climbed a mountain and then a temple to catch an amazing sunset!
Bayon, there is faces in all the peaks, hard to see on here
Where Tomb Raider was filmed
Us "contemplating life" lol
Thought it looked kinda eerie cool
Where's Waldo?
The first entrance to AngkorWat. We were taken there last, we figured because it made all the others seem so insignificant almost.

Fantastic first photo, along with the rest! Creativity and compassion exude from you though these entries.
The 2 prior entries brought a tear to the eye. Reminds me of my days in Mexico, but the war piece heightens the anguish. So glad you are able to be present to it and make a difference- beautiful - you'll never be the same.
Love,
Dad and Di
