Angkor Watt, Cambodia

Here we are in Siem Reap, the location of Angkor Watt, the incredible 12th Century Hindu temple.  It was built of stone by 27,000 Khmers and is one of the most visited tourist sites in the world.  The temple is surrounded by a huge moat and dedicated the the Hindu God Shiva.  It included two libraries (they contained parchment scrolls).  We left the hotel at 8 AM before the heat became too intense and climbed around the structure for 3+ hours.  I will post photos as words do not do it justice.
