| Inside the Angkor Complex |
I have been hooked on ruins since I saw my first Indian
Mound in North Georgia when I was a wee one camping with my parental units. As
I grew older and the world grew larger, I had longings for more ancient
history.

The exotic, undiscovered and hard to get to places. In my 20’s I
visited the Mayan Ruins, which were not as easy to get to as they are today. I’ve seen Stonehenge and the Cairn Man, the
remains of the Roman Empire in Rome. French Castles, Neolithic Caves, Roman
Aqueducts, Andalusia and ancient Moorish Temples, Constantinople, Topkopi
Palace. Ephesus was my furthest trip to
the Near East. Machu Pichu took me south of the equator.

Angkor Wat took me half way around the world.

| Angkor is still a functioning Temple |
The last 3 days have been spent exploring the largest Temple
complex in the world. Not much is known about its civilization. We get up at
530am to have breakfast at 6am and be on the road to temples as soon as the
doors open because it is 100 degrees here. The only time it’s tolerable to be
outside is early in the morning and late at night.
