Temples of Angkor

Angkor Temples - check!

hello hello,

That is just us checking off a giant sight that we had to see on this trip, and giant it was. The temples of angkor stretch for miles and miles over several different sites. Once inside one of the sites you had several different temples, some at different levels of decay to examine, yet all left us in awe. The incredible detail, which still survives today, is a mere fraction of the beauty that these temples most of held in their prime. They are a testament to the level of devotion their creators had for "the gods".

Now with that being said, the impact that this visit had on us both will likely only be properly conveyed in person, so this blog will not do. But fear not, as we took roughly 600 pictures between the two of us and we are creating a "flickr"account to get them up, along with some others that we haven't posted...I know I know we need to get pics up, and we both unfourtunatly didn't pack our camera cables so we have been surviving on finding internet cafe's with adapters for our cards. Luckily we have one here and they are being put up as i type this, so enjoy.

We will be staying in siem reap for another couple of days to soak up the sun and let the wonders we have just seen, sink in.
