A day at Angkor Wat

Angkor is an Amazing place.
There are hundreds of buildings, thousands of years old.
 



There is pastor Pat and though it looks like pastor Chuck Smith leading the way,
it's not.
Tong is right behind.

View from the top.



On top in the inner courtyards.
Darow
The girls and Elijah
Nearde, Sdung, Thea and Saveoun
Chanlay
Bunheoun and Srepow
Chi
Picture on the pony.
Most of our kids have never seen a horse only a few were brave enough to sit on it.

Leaving for the next site.




Bayon temple has faces every where you look.
Our kids

The team.  "our other kids, the naughty ones"

Don't think I need to say much here.

Sally became a good friend real fast, we were really happy to have her on the trip.




Yeah, that is a big tree.

Pat, Max, Susan and Steve.
Max-imus-energus finally ran out of steam. 

Elephant battle arena

The Generals temple
Not a single carving on the entire building.

Chow


A lot of really steep steps.  Lim in the yellow and red did not make it that far.
This photo shows only a quarter of the way up.  I stood at the top of the stairs watching and listening to each person as they came to the stairs they climbed so easily moments before.  Each person with out fail would come to the edge, gasp and say some version of "oh my God" or "Oh shoot"
It was fun to watch.

Own standing in the doorway.

Own and Sreypow peaking through the window.

Jon at the bottom of the stairs.

Angkor Tom


Giant bee hive, probably 200 pounds at least.







Below are the best pictures Wut took with Mary's camera she donated to the orphanage.

Sreyroth

Melor and Tee

Own

Chi


It is so funny with Lim and Chi they bought these shirts themselves.  They look like a French mime, if they could only juggle.  They saw a comedian on TV and thought "if you want to be famous they have to look famous", "wear what the stars wear" they thought.
While the rest of us couldn't help but giggle all day. 
Lim and Sreyroth.

The kids are not as shy when they take pictures of each other.
I'm not sure what kind of pose Borin is doing.
Veasna

Bunheoun
I was to shy to take this picture in case he woke up mad at me, so I asked Wut to take it.  Evidently this guy was ready for a nap and 8:00 am in the morning.  He became more of an attraction than the temple was.
  Pastor Pat and Sdung.  Pat sponsor her salary as well as sponsoring Tong.  Some of you could do that if you wanted. 
 





Finally I had the chance to give a pose rather than taking one.
This is my best "Ferrari" look that I've got.
