Remember Lara Croft, Tomb Raider? Bruce is standing at the South Gate of Angkor Thom where Lara lands.
Ta Phrom
This temple was our personal favorite.It was
completely overgrown with its stone pillars and carvings intertwined
with massive tree roots.
The jungle just took over.
There was a group of local musicians at the enterance to the temple. All their instruments are handmade.
Sihanoukville
Sihanoukville is a little know beach town on the southwest coast of Cambodia.
In Sihanoukville, we
stayed at the Sohka Beach. We had trouble deciding whether we should hang out at the swim-up bar or the private (and deserted) beach. Brian
decided to start a new vacation tradition. The bar made great fresh
fruit
smoothies and Brian tried to have as many as he could each day. Not to
be outdone, Samantha had countless fresh coconuts. She has become
a
coconut connoisseur, able to tell the difference between an old or new
coconut and whether it will have any "meat".
The white sand beach was great, however the surf was a little rough.

Brian is sampling a baby squid! He wanted this photo to shock all his friends.
Cambodian
cusine is not for the faint of heart. We passed on the grilled rat and
the fried beetles, but the sauteed crickets..............
