Dave and I went to Angkor Wat in Suah's Tuk-Tuk. It was good to give him the business. Look him up if you are ever in Siem Reap. We visited 5 magnificent temples from the glory days of Cambodia known as the Angkor Kingdom. That was 1000 years ago. The temples are amazing feats considering when they were built. The sad part is that they were built on the backs of the labor of what had to be thousands of people, probably slaves and they were built to honor either Hindu gods or the king. One of my favorite temples, though, showed the power of the true God, Ta Prohm. In it huge trees were growing on and breaking apart the stones that had been laid. It was magnificent. Another Candlelight dinner due to no electricity (are you seeing a pattern here to explain why these blogs are not getting published?), this time at the Soup Dragon. And again we were rescued by the Blue Pumpkin.
