Siem Reap Cambodia - Angkor Wat

So we picked up a new “boy” in Siem Reap. Sam is Tan’s business partner in the Kingdomof Cambodia and will be joining us on the rest of our trip. Siem Reap is the home of Angkor Wat…and all I can say is…wow. I used to say, “you’ve seen one wat, you’ve seen them all”…not so much with this one. We only had the chance to spend the afternoon, but really - could easily have spent a few days around the grounds. Pretty impressive.

After going on two weeks of “the boys” watching over me - clucking like a bunch of hens, I was feeling pretty restless. So when the boys asked me if I wanted to go “have tea with the King” (translates to go drink with their buddies), I kindly passed to take a dip in the pool and yes, get another massage. Those darn knots in my shoulders - I can’t seem to get rid of them!

When they came to pick me up for dinner, I again begged off to go walk around the night market in Siem Reap. Tan started clucking, and Sam came to my rescue “Tan, she has traveled a lot. She will be fine. I think she is like the lion that wants to escape from the zoo for awhile”. EXACTLY!! So, after supporting the local economy a bit, I took a tuk-tuk back and all is well!

I think I’ll need to check myself into rehab when I get home to kick myself of my lemongrass tea habit. It’s going to be tough going cold turkey if I can’t find it at home.
