A weekend in Cambodia!

Spent an amazing weekend in Cambodia! We fly up to Siem Reap after work Friday to explore the Angkor Wat- the 8th Wonder of the World. And it was incredible! First our hotel picked us up in a tuk tuk - so fun! We spent all Saturday hiking and exploring through the amazing temples! We woke up for sunrise over the Angkor Wat. We explored the Baylon - the smiling face temple. Then we went to the temple used in the Tomb Raider movie- cool! The trees that came have taken over the temples. It was beautiful. Cambodia has yummy food too. BBQ and other beef dishes that were excellent! Also a highlight was that Cambodia used the US dollar! And everything is cheap! So cheap! Beer was a $1! I likes that! The weather was perfect and the people are lovely! Can't wait to go back! One of my favorite ones yet!
Here are some pictures- I will post my good camera ones soon.






Love that the currency is USD!

Love the town's little alleys with fun bars and restaurants!



So it is easy to find the pubs here - $.50 to $1 beers!
