Still taking in Angkor--but first to catch up on sleep

Angkor was absolutely beautiful. The first day we explored Angkor Thom and went to the Elephant Temple for sunset.

This morning we got up at 4:30 to watch the sunrise over Angkor Wat, which was stunning. All of the Angkor temples are truly remarkable and span so much distance, but I can see what Angkor Wat gets so much glory.

After that we went to the beautifully dilapidated ruins at Ta Phrom, which has been taken over by the massive bodhi trees that dominate the forest.

After we were wat-ed out, we went to the Angkor museum to see some of the relics they removed from the wats for preservation.

Now we are in Phnom Penh, the capital, after a six hour bus ride. Tomorrow we will see the killing fields and some other less gruesome city sites.
