Angkor Wat is an ancient temple, nominated for one of the new manmade wonders of the world. And it is a must-see for anyone visiting Cambodia. It was created by the Khmer people in the twelfth century to honor the Hindu gods and buddha. Though Ankor Wat and the surrounding temples were mostly reduced to rubbles during the destructive rule of the Khmer Rouge, the Khmer government with help from other countries as well, is putting in the painstaking time and effort to restore this ancient site. It is known as the largest religious structure in the world.

We spent an entire day exploring, discovering, learning, and, of course, climbing. (Eric is wearing off on me). I do realize that these are a lot of pictures of me, but please understand… I’m appeasing my parents. And I’m photogenic. 🙂 One of my favorite sites was one of the smaller, nearby structures. If you look closely, you can see faces carved into the rock.
