Bangkok was awesome. Very impressive traffic. We did some temple visiting, went to a few huge malls (the kids even ice skated in one), took a river cruise, played in the pool a lot and caught up on school work. I (Ed) even shaved for the first time since Morocco. Mostly though, we just relaxed. It has been nice taking it easy for the past several weeks. We just arrived in Siem Reap, Cambodia 2 days ago and have already been out to visit the ruins at Angkor Wat, one of the largest religious monuments in the world. It is almost 1000 years old, and was built as a Hindu temple, but changed to a Buddhist temple somewhere along the way.  The whole complex is actually many different structures made of stone with very elaborate carvings.  We plan to visit the ruins twice more and won’t even see half of it. It is  very hot walking around but we were able to see elephants and monkeys in the jungle.  Rainy season in Southeast Asia continues, but we’re (thankfully) dodging the downpours and staying dry.  Everyone is doing well and we will be celebrating Thomas’ birthday on the 11th, which also turns out to be the exact half-way point of our trip.
