The main reason we wanted to go to Cambodia was to see the ruins in the Siem Reap area. These were constructed over a few centuries starting about 1300 years ago and were the product of religious temples built originally for Buddhist and then Hindu. Vast cities were part of the region and kings ruled the Khmer dynasty that built these structures. I’m not a historian but appreciate the architecture and immensity of everything we saw. I’ll let these - my better pictures from the three days we spent exploring the various ruins - speak for me.

There just are no words that do the temples justice - some were overwhelmed with people. Swarms of them. But we could go around a corner and have a few hundred feet of ancient carvings all to ourselves for a half hour. We took a two hour ride to one of the most ruined and remote sites where we could clamor over the roof and scramble into collapsed hallways. Just incredible. I want to come back when i have more time - but the world is so huge i doubt i ever will.
