A return to Cambodia

 


How long has it been old friend? Over 10 years? When Kristin and I first set foot in Cambodia we were in love. The temples, night markets, red dirt, adventurous countryside romps - it pulled us in. We visited twice in two years, and it is a delight to return 12 years later to see our old friend. 

Most importantly, it has been incredible sharing it with our children. Exploring temple ruins with Harper and Ronan was an absolute delight and a perfect adventure.

Greener than I remember

This tree appeared to be poured over the ruins like a natural cement

Ta Prohm is the most wabi sabi temple in Angkor - it is a beautiful compromise between culture and nature

A famous relief of a dinosaur - this is notable because it was carved 1000 years ago and there is not a good way for the Khmers to know what a stegosaurus looks like - unless somehow one was still living in the jungles of Cambodia

Plenty of doors to walk through
