How can I even begin to explain Angkor. It was an absolutely amazing experience for me. Incredibly awe-inspiring both aesthetically and spiritually. I fell in love. I will never forget the pure energy of these monuments in the spirit they exude and ideas they represent.

It would take days for me to discuss everything that I loved about each of the temples that we went to but I will attempt to give a brief synopsis of each temple along with a couple of pictures I took at each one.

Every temple that we went to was absolutely gorgeous. It was interesting to see the gradual transition through the centuries that the particular temple was built.
Our program bought us a weekend pass to the temples. On Friday we were on our own to go and explore the temples. This also gave us the opportunity to see some of the temples that we wouldn't be able to on Saturday or Sunday. On Saturday and Sunday we were scheduled a tour with an official Angkor tour guide who also works in the restoration in the temple called Preah Khan.

Here our my favorite pictures from each day. I can't explain all of them to you because there is just so much to say. So what I say is look at the pretty pictures and enjoy :D
