Day 4

Since this is my first blog and I am doing it on my new iPhone, I am making a lot of errors that I cannot correct. Please be patient with me. I can edit text but don't know how to edit photos. I am learning as I go.

This morning we toured the main Angkor(city) Wat(Buddist Temple) complex. This complex dates to the 12th Century. Over the centuries the jungle grew over the complex and it wasn't uncovered until the 1860's. Angkor Thom which we saw yesterday dates to before Christ.

The pictures below reflect the approach to the central temple with a moat that measures five kilometers around, part of a bas relief showing the red color which the temple sported eons ago, and a "jungle temple" showing one of the buildings with living trees growing on the buildings.

Ike has a touch of Montezuma's revenge today so he and Mary weren't able to accompany the group.
