Where does one begin when one has gone on a journey that took them far away from the world as they know it? I have just returned from a mind boggling trip to Siem Reap Cambodia...the town that lies on the edge of the ruins of Angkor. It will take me a couple of posts to figure out how to give you a taste of this grand adventure....but I shall try....because my girls have asked.... This is an arial view that Carl took from a hot air balloon that shows how the
ruins were once lost to the jungles.
There are hundreds of 'cities' that have been discovered. Each one is unique in some way and similar in other ways as you will see as I try to post several different places.

My 'happy place'.

Hot but fascinating. This ruin is called Banteay Kdei.

Exploring with other tourists

For those who have read about our 'foot' finds....guess what I found here!

It's just so hard to imagine what this all used to be like....what were the people like who built such places....where did they go?
