Siem Reap, Cambodia
















Jared and I once again ventured out on our own to the magnificent Siem Reap. For those out there not quite sure as to why this is one of the most amazing places in the world, this is the home of Angkor Wat - one of the 7 Wonders of the World. Photos and videos just don't give this place justice. How can you explain miles of countless temples, each having their own uniqueness and beauty. We had the privilege of spending 3 full days exploring the temples, the Cambodian countryside and the city itself. What incredible people live here. After so many years of war, tragedy and a continuous problem of exploding landmines, you see the devastation with the large amount of amputees living in the country. Despite all, their friendly faces greeted us at every restaurant, shop and tuk-tuk ride. Every meal we ate was delicious and we sure enjoyed those $2 pitchers of beer! A few firsts - ATVing through Cambodian countryside after a night of heavy rainfall (a bit messy but so much fun!), consuming frog legs (taste like chicken), and taking a tuk-tuk as our airport transfer. Thanks to our amazing hotel staff for the best service we have ever had. This is an experience we will cherish forever.

Little Ones

Here's a little clip of Maya with her friends at the playground. This was so cute, she wanted to be the one to push the girls on the swing and nothing made her happier than them wanting to go "Higher!"
