Cambodia- day 51

Day 51 Tues 10/16
To catch the sunset at Angkor Wat (one of the eighth wonders of the world), we woke up at 4:30 and took a tuktuk a short ten minutes away to the entrance to buy our passes for Angkor Wat for the day (which were printed with our pictures on them). One of Maggie's friends from Korea, Stephanie, joined us for the day. There were many temples made of rock that made up the famous temples. The rocks were all different sizes and were shipped in down a river from 50 km away. Many of them had carvings and faces in the stone. Throughout Angkor Wat there were a lot of locals selling postcards, scarves, etc. We met a school of Khmer students from Phnom Phen (the capital of Cambodia) at one of the sites and talked to them for a while. Cambodia used to be a French country. By noon, we were templed out and headed back to Siem Reap. There are many beggars in Siem Reap and In the afternoon, Stephanie and I got talked into buying formula for the locals and got our good deed in for the day. At night we went to Pub Street to hang out for a bit.
