More of Angkor Wat

Eric and Gabe climbed up these stairs to the top of one of the temple ruins--and then had to turn around at the top and come down. We were fascinated by the way the ancient trees grew around and into the remains of the buildings.

Several countries have "adopted" a certain temple and are paying for its restoration. Wherever we saw scaffolding and green netting, we knew that work was being done, and there was usually a sign identifying the country that was paying for the work. It's good to know that care is being given so that these structures can "teach" future generations.
