Siem Reap, Cambodia: Our first temple visit was to the biggest and baddest: Angkor Wat, the crown jewel of the Khmer empire, built in the late 12th century. In case it doesn’t show in the pictures, this place is ENORMOUS - think pyramids, but less geometric and more lotus flower-y. Angkor Wat (along with the rest of the temples we’ve visited) is still a functioning temple, so there are lots of buddhas and monks and things.
Angkor Wat is only one of the many Temples of Angkor, so expect lots more pictures like this as we post entries from our other temple visits!
