Siem Reap

We made it to Siem Reap, Cambodia home of Angkor Wat and the Ankor UNESCO Heritage site. 

We are staying in an incredible resort with a huge room and this pool that has a bridge to it and it goes all around a swim up bar. It is pretty chill though. Not a lot of splashing and/or music, just people enjoying the heat and taking a dip.

Angkor Wat is a giant temple that is housed in the Angkor Ancient City which covers 400 Square miles . The Ancient city is comprised of a whole bunch of different Wats and temples and villages. In it's peak the whole ancient city had a population of 700,000 to 900,000. 

The Naga, not a cobra or serpent because it has 7 heads!

The pictures that Kerry and I would like to have all over our place but can't have because we usually go without a photographer. 馃ぃ



We then went to several other temples in the UNESCO site called Angkor the ancient city. 

Before I get there, our driver explained that all Cambodians drink beer after they work and he promised to have some beer for me in the car, he also explained that on the tab which he didn't know the name of you could win another beer and keep on drinking or a million bucks. Well, he did not disappoint. 

I explained that the proper name is a pull tab or poptop and then I explained to Kerry that if you didn't want to litter or expose someone to a cut foot, one would just slip it right back into the can after pulled.

Anyhow, I won him another beer. Oh, yes, and you might notice we are in the car and what you wouldn't notice is that we are driving. He isn't though because he was working and not off work.
