Nov 29, 2013

This morning after breakfast we all load up and go to visit Angkor Wat.

 The kids went in the busses and the volunteers went in Tuk Tuks.

Anchor Wat is a Hindu temple complex in Cambodia and the largest religious monument in the world.  The the temple was built by the Khmer King Suryavarman II in the early 12th century in Yasodharaoura "Khmer., present day Ankor, the capital of the Khmer Empire, as his state temple and eventual mausoleum.   Breaking from the Sharvism tradition of previous kings, Angkor Wat was instead dedicated to Vishnu.

Nan jumped right in with the locals

  
                                     
                                   We had lunch at the Purple Pumpkin

 lAs the best-preserved temple at the site, it is the only one to have remained a significant rigious center since its foundation
.

After a full day of touring we have dinner and return to have our closing which included Holly Cameron presenting "Purity, Be Holy"


and with Char and Sarah doing a soft shoe/tap routine.


















  We said goodbye to the kids and headed to the Night Market to see if we could find something we can't live without.  Back to the room by 9:30 and ready to hit the sack.
