Overgrown

Not much has gone down in the last few days except for the internet. Got a cute stomach bug for a while and wrote like it was nobody's business in order to turn in my first big story. It went really well though and I think I'm catching on to this writing stuff. Last night our dinner wasn't included at the B&B so we all went to a place called Temple (fitting, I know) to watch apsaras dancing while we eat. Apsaras are kind of like angels and they're carved into almost all the temples in Cambodia. They're dancing ladies that used to dance for the gods and today girls train from a really young age to move their hands and backs in the apsara way.



Then today we did more temples. The first one I was really pumped to see. It's called Bang Melea and its completely overgrown with trees and bushes. It was kind of forgotten so it all crumbled and is in shambles but the overgrowth is really cool.





Then we ventured around two more temples that were actually pretty cool. We got lucky that the three we saw today were all really different.
