I know you all have been dying to see the videos...well here they are (3 of them at least)
We goofed off quite a bit atop the high temples...
There was a surprise appearance from Rocky...
Jennie and I rode an elephant through the jungle...I promise...
I will add more later...don't you fret about that.

Angkor Wat.
We got up at 3:45am to see the sunrise at Angkor Wat.
This is just a SMALL glimpse of the trip. Jennie and I took over 800 pictures and over 70 videos...some videos will be added a little later. Hope you enjoyed the glimpse!
This is the sun rising outside the temple.
The sun rising over Angkor.
God put on quite the spectacular display for us that morning. absolutely gorgeous!
Yup. that's Angkor Wat :o)
A little froggy we found.
This picture is solely for Pastor Jim. He likes mushrooms :o)
The look of far off wonderment...I wasn't so good at it, so I turned my face. hehe. fun times.
Where's Kim?
Again. Far off wonderment. But it was BEAUTIFUL there!
It was Sunday morning when we went, so we had personal devotion time at Angkor. I sat on a perch overlooking the jungle. It was beautiful!
After we visited Angkor Wat (the first temple on our long journey) we had breakfast--rice with pork and iced coffee!
That's Jennie, me, and Papa at Bayon temple. I bought my daddy a straw hat and he was there with us in spirit. He's in lots of pictures.
The Bayon Faces.
There's one temple that has been taken over by the jungle. look at these trees!
Papa and I played hide-n-seek.
Wow!
The temples looked like fortresses, so we decided we were at the Battle of Helms Deep...Jennie is Legolas.
I am Aragorn and papa is Gimli :o)
We were the monk stalkers...well Jennie was and I just helped out.
Sunset. We were out all day long.
Angor Wat from the hill.
Yup. We rode an elephant down the hill through the jungle...you will see video at a later point in time.
Our elephant driver.
On the way back at a bus stop. Gotta love cafe da-coh-da-cah (iced coffee with sweet milk)

Khmer Wedding.
We got to travel up to Siem Reap for Pastor Arun's wedding...here are some pictures :o)
This is the only one Jennie and I got like this before the wedding. Jennie isn't looking, but still looks pretty :o)
This was at the wedding. The bride and groom are walking into the church for the fruit ceremony with the procession behind them.
We took a couple of the girls from the Bible school to get hair and make up done Khmer style. This is the before picture.
Yay for getting hair done!
It took her an hour or more to straighten my hair, but look how shiny and pretty it is!
This is the after picture. Now we are ready to party!
Khmer weddings are a big deal--all day event. I'm glad we got to attend (well some of the wedding) and hang out with the girls!

Visiting Siem Reap
This weekend Jennie, some other friends, and I are going to Siem Reap for a wedding. While we are there we will have an awesome opportunity to visit Angkor Wat and some other temples in Siem Reap.
Aerial view of Anchor Wat and the surrounding moat.
This is one of the temples that has been overrun by the surrounding jungle.
The famous temples of Siem Reap are a valued part of Cambodian history and heritage. It will be our last adventure in Cambodia.
Angkor Wat. It is beautiful ancient Khmer architecture.
Aerial view of Anchor Wat and the surrounding moat.
Angkor Wat is a huge part of Cambodia's proud history. It is featured on their national flag.

These are the Bayon faces. We are very excited to visit this temple.

in my defense.
and I would just like to say one thing. I have been mercilessly teased about the pigeon video...in my defense, what you all didn't see is the tons of birds that were circling my feet and were all around...it was much scarier than it looked. I'm not that big of a wuss...
you know you would have freaked out too.

a day in the life.

one of the many guys who asked me if I wanted a tuk tuk ride today.
outside toul tompoung market.
bartering inside toul tompoung with new friends.
the view from the sworn house down the street.
and the other way.
they've been building that house across the street for quite some time.
I love this picture because of the man's face. but the stupid dog ruined it.
this was a second attempt. but it just isn't the same.
