Angkor Still Amazes
After years of anticipation, Megan finally made it to Angkor Wat!
I’ve been to Angkor — the ancient capitol of the Khmer (Cambodian) Empire — countless times, and it’s never lost its power to impress me.
On our way from Battambang to Phnom Penh, we stopped for a day in Siem Reap and toured my three favorite temples: Ta Prohm, Angkor Thom and Angkor Wat. As always, it was a workout — seven hours straight of walking up and down ruined steps under the Cambodian sun. But we all made it, including septuagenarian Kris, who was a bit concerned about the levels of endurance the day would require.
And as she said the next morning, “Nothing makes for a better night’s sleep than a full day at Angkor.”
The obligatory money shot
