Today we spent the day in Angkor Wat, the largest temple complex in the world. We visited Angkor Wat, Bayon, and Angkor Phom. Angkor Phom is the place where Angelina Jolie filmed the movie tomb raider. That temple complex was in the process of being destroyed by nature when the French found it in the 12th century. Abandoned for several years by the Cambodian King, the trees had begun to uproot the foundations. Despite several centuries of restoration, and a couple of wars, the trees are still winning. What do you think that has to say about how we take care of things?
It was an all day expedition, in the heat and humidity. We were all soaked. And we are all in one combined room, preparing to depart. But it felt so good to be showered and clean. Next, on to dinner, and then the airport. Homeward bound.
this was a thin place sort of day.
