A successful workshop at Angkor Wat

Good evening everyone! It's early evening on Wednesday, and we had another great, if very hot and sticky, day. Today was by far the warmest day of all, we're guessing about 98, and the sun was bright. Everyone was hot today!

We started the day with a traditional Asian breakfast of noodle chicken soup (yes, hot soup on a hot day, we know), and then headed downtown to the markets. We did some final shopping and picture taking in the Central Market area, and then headed to the Temples for a final tour. We first tried to find our three Temple Kids. We found family and friends of two of them, and gave them a copy of their pictures. Kao had already gone home, so we will try to find him tomorrow.

Then we headed to Angkor Wat, the largest and most famous of all the temples. There we found Peron, 14, one of five kids (he is the only boy). He walked us around Angkor Wat, which is quite large and impressive. There are five towers to the main building, and there are several side temples. This complex is surrounded by a moat, and there is a long walkway from the street area to the main temple. There are many levels and a large hall. You can climb all the way to the top for a spectacular view of the countryside. Peron took many pictures, and even he commented on all the tourists!

We were very tired after that, so we headed back to the hotel for a refreshing dip in the pool. Teresa continued to enjoy the pool until dark, and Ty headed out for some night shooting. Next we're headed over to Sofitel for an evening of exhibits and networking. Tomorrow is our last full day in Cambodia, and it is a big day since we have our presentation in the evening. It's been a wonderful experience, we've met so many great people, and we've had an incredible time. It's all been worth it.

We will post more pictures tomorrow, and we'll let you know how the presentation goes as soon as we can. Hope everyone is having a great week, we'll see you soon, and wish us luck with our presentation!
