We flew into Siem Reap, Cambodia, yesterday for our Angkor Wat adventure. We rented bikes last night and started out at 5 this morning so we could see the sunrise over the ruins. The sunrise was a bust but the day was amazing. We walked and biked and kept falling over more temples and more cute little kids who wanted to sell us something for "Only one dollar - very good deal - where you from lady?"
We are loaded down with one dollar gadgets and temple overload - until tomorrow.
We finished the afternoon by donating blood at the cildren's hospital outside town which was mobbed by mothers waiting with their ill babies to see a doctor. Very special way to end a day of contrasts.
Angkor is beyond description - miles of ruined temples. Between the vast size and the minute, perfect carvings everywhere it is awe-inspiring and humbling.
We are heading off for dinner in town - which is also beyond description (but that's for tomorrow; $.50 draft beer is calling!)
