Angkor's a Wat!

We've wanted to come to Angkor Wat ever since we saw Laura Croft: Tomb Raider in 2001. 

As such, first we were all like: 

Then, we were all like: 

I've seen a lot of ruins on this trip, but these have to been some of the most spectacular I've ever seen for sure. 

Mom with our Guide outside of the walls to Angkor Thom...

We spent the day walking around Angkor Wat, Angkor Thom, Ta Phrom and several other temples in the Angkor complex.  It was hot, they are massive, but they are really fantastic.  

There are hundreds of pictures, but here's a taste of what we found here.

Angkor Wat:

The joke the guide made was that the reason the restoration tent is green is that because everyone has to ask "what's happening under the green tent".  And the answer they guides have to give is "the Germans are fixing it"... 

Angkor Thom: 

The holes in the face are bullet holes.  The heads were used by the Khmer Rouge for Target Practice.

Ta Phrom:

I've also updated the Tumblr Page with a bunch of photos from the trip.  Both current and old ones that I saw when editing down albums to open up space on my laptop (plus they allow for better picture resolution on that site than Blogger does - though I do post totally different shots for the most part).

My apologies to Christopher David Davies, who won't be able to view these pictures because his school has blocked Tumblr as result of his students still going through puberty and using Tumblr for the viewing of pornography.  

Kids these days.  I'll tell ya....
