Day Four: Siem Reap & Angkor Wat
Our morning was busy with business, but this afternoon was a sheer delight — ok the idea of it was fabulous but in reality my super painful sore throat, the constricting humidity, and burning sunshine made it somewhat hellish, but I was determined to power through it. Thinking, when will I be in Cambodia again?? And look at the beautiful smiling children.
Angkor Wat is a twelfth century ancestral wonder of the world let alone Cambodia. It brings to mind the ruins of Rome, and Ephasus. The amount of detail on almost every stone, including all the foundation stones, is unbelievable. Also consider that these temples were built one stone on top of the next — an architectural balancing feat. There are over a hundred temples in this forrest preserve.
By the way, I ate cricket today. Tasted like salty peanuts. Feeling proudly adventurous!
