Angkor Wat

If that looks like an Angkor Wat like statute it would be because it is.  And there are thousands spread over thousands of acres and I do not exaggerate one bit.  This place is huge.  Really big is another way of putting it and a person can get up rather close on these ancient buildings in a way that in the US would be prohibited due to preservation  of antiquities and due to safety.  

Also it is impossible to exaggerate the crowds here and the numbers of countries represented.  Amazing.  Mark, Marie, Patt, Linda and Kate are in there somewhere.

Some of the inner walls of "the" Angkor Wat had amazing engravings still on the walls, others had deteriorated badly or completely disappeared.

Some places mostly empty.

Some place pretty crowded.

love the hard hat and "safety" shoes.

and they have a lot of work to do, many many pile of stones as many temples have fallen.

Patt, Mark and Marie are making a climb up one of the temples.   There were several high ones with very steep climbs.

and our transportation while we are in Siem Riep.  These are everywhere.  Of course so are bicycles, motorcycles, busses and cars.

very slow internet has made bloging difficult, hope to do another here but not sure.  will do more about Angkor so sure later.
