Cambodia


The road to Cambodia is a rough one. A dirt road from Thailand to Siem Reap is the only way to get there and riding on a dirt road in a bus for multiple hours is, to me, considered a trip and not a vacation. Even though the trip was rough and the days were very long, it was one I won't forget. We visited supposedly the biggest lake in Asia, Tonle Sap, and then we visited the old city and temples of Anchor Wat. The Khmer dynasty was a huge empire that spanned most of Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Vietnam, and Burma in the 5th to 12th century. It is said that the city population was 100,000 when Rome was still about 50,000 people. We spent a whole day visiting some of the hundreds of temples in the old city. It was amazing the size and beauty of the temples made so many years ago. I hope you enjoy the pictures.
