Holiday in Cambodia

Hello.
I stumbled across photoshop on this computer and lucky for you, I re-sized some pictures.
These are pictures from Our travels in Angkor:
Joanna and I rented some pedal bycicles two days ago and ended up riding 25 Kilometers around Angkor that day! My legs were killing me but the pain was lessend by the fact that I've been trying to stretch every morning(I can almost touch my toes!).

This is a gate into the walled city of Ankor Thom, which at one point was a city of some 20 000 + people. All of the Temple Cities have gigantic moats around them, some as wide across as 200 meters.


Angkor Thom's moat:




We biked to To Prohm, the overgrown temple that tomb raider was filmed at. It was incredible, there are trees that just grow into the temple.











After that, we continued on and saw a few more along the way:







Other than seeing incredible wats and ruins, we've just been hanging out and eating, pretty much.






I'll make a post for Angkor Wat, the largest and most extravigant temple soon.
I hope I can make more of these post more often!
-Ben

"Lest Old Aquaintance Be Forgot ..." Good to see you guys are looking lovely!!!
Love the photos; especially the cute cambodian children holding hands and the trees in the temple .... wow, I want some trees like that! Oh and the sleeping baby is pretty darn cute too!
Spent New Year's Eve in Burnaby with Sallie & Jurg's family and Mom & Dad; played Cranium and laughed our heads off. Kaitlyn skiing with Megan this weekend. Met with Richard, Sandi, Anna & Evan today at the Spagetti Factory and then toured the christmas tree display at the Empress; I have never done that before ... it was really nice! They are all enjoying your blog but I have no idea why they aren't commenting!?

So what else can I say? ... Happy New Year, of course!
And this goes for all your friends who are still in Canada too but I never see them anymore but they might read this and get the message anyway!!
Love You guys (especially Ben of course; mother's privilege)
