Ankor What?

Took a 5 hour trip to ankor Wat this past weekend to visit ancient temples and palaces, do some historic educational training and all. Again, because this computer is so super slow and eating up .75 lousy cents per minute, I am just posting up a few good pictures. Siem Reap and Ankor Wat were both amazing and quite worth the long, vigorous bus ride.

As soon as we arrived, the rain was pouring heavily and the streets filled up with flood water. There are no type of sewer system so it literally stays on the land until it evaporates and clears away. We ate at a nice restaurant and decided to explore the streets of Siem Reap despite the flood. We only had two nights there and not enough time to waste sitting in a hotel room staring at each other. We took a stroll down Siem Reap into the restaurant, bar, and club section of town. It was as if the locals disappeared and the foreigners all came out to play. It was like 6th street in Austin, we went inside a bar recommended by our coordinator and each had a pitcher of mixed alcoholic beverages. A couple of pitchers and beers later, we had all forgotten we were a bunch of foreigners and danced the night away.

Lannie, Leanne, my cousin, and I got a tuk tuk (wagon attached to a moped) and went back to our hotel. We took a late night swim and headed back to our rooms to get some well needed rest. Day two was filled with adventure, ancient old history, heat, and little kids haggling us.

Day 2
