Today was the visit to Angkor Wat ( most known along with several others). The park is immense as are the temple ruins. It boggles the mind at the ingenuity, skill and hard work to create them up to 1000 yrs ago. It is the symbol of national pride and religious heritage. In respect to tradition (and just because it is so cool to do it) we made our initial entry into the Wat ( temple) riding on elephants and could imagine what the Angkor King would have viewed as he approached in similar fashion. We explored the nooks and crannies of the various temples with Brian adding insight into religious and ceremonial rituals. Brian was also able to do some video footage for future use in connecting the history to present day culture, perspectives and practices.
