We slept in today which will never get old. It was about midday before we headed out which was our first mistake. Siem Reap in the middle of the day is ridiculously hot. We ended up wasting time till the afternoon when our favorite tuk tuk guy came to pick us up for our final venture into the park. Today we started in the afternoon because we wanted it to gradually cool off rather than heat up. We returned to Angkor Wat and this time we were able to go all the way up to the top! According to the books the top level of Angkor Wat is heaven, which means I went to heaven and back! It was beautiful. Next we went off to Ta Pron temple (otherwise known as the Tomb Raider temple) close to closing so we were the last to get in and had the WHOLE temple to ourselves. It was amazing! We went picture crazy and climbed all over everything ran from collapsing walls (see photos), and just had the time of our lives. I am definitely putting this place in my top 10 most beautiful places I have ever seen. Tonight we had designated for souvenir shopping so we when to the night market and bought art. I'll admit, I bought too much but the prices were so cheap! I bought seven paintings for $70. I hope everyone likes them and I hope to put them up in my house or sell them when I get back. Tomorrow we go back to Phnom Phen and though I am excited for the clinic I dread returning to the Phen.
