Statues at the National Museum |
We spent a few hours at the
National Museum of Cambodia which houses historical culture, archaeology, and
art. It was quite impressive considering
many of these artifacts could have, or were partially destroyed by the Khmer
Rouge.

Hot souvenir t-shirt at the Royal Palace |

It's good to be the king |
We went to a few Buddhist
Temples with the highlight was the Royal Palace. It was
extremely hot and Booker had to buy a t-shirt to wear over her other shirt
since exposed shoulders were not allowed.
That was alot of trouble but worth the experience. At least there were no monkeys here to steal Booker's earrings.

Buddhists only allowed |
After enough great food, museums,
pagodas, and temples, we took a day long bus ride to Siem Rep where our goal
was to see the Temples of Angkor Wat and then fly to Hong Kong for our
connection to Newark Airport.
The bus
ride took us north through plains and agricultural communities. The people have a very subsistence
living. It was the end of the dry season
and things were very brown and dry in the 100 degree heat.

It doesn't get much better than 50 cent beers |
