Angkor Wat temple
Thursday, Aug. 7
Angkor Wat is considered the 10th wonder of the world. It was built in 700 A.D. as a Hindu temple and was later a Buddhist temple. Although it's significance is meaningless, it is incredible in the size, architecture and intricate carvings in the stone. We all enjoyed walking around and most of us (Americans and Cambodians) had never seen it before. Despite the extreme humidity on this day, it was great being with my little "sisters" from Hagar. Each of us had two girls on each arm wanting to hold our hands. It was great. For lunch the girls wanted traditional food, so we dropped them off at a roadside cafe and the Harvest team ate lunch at a local pizza restaurant (with air conditioning) which is obviously there for tourists like ourselves. Siem Riep is a tourist town, so we had some luxuries we didn't have in the provinces (like pizza).
After lunch we headed back to the Hagar house, about a 3 hour drive. That evening we were throwing a huge Princess Party for the girls.
