Hello again loved ones!
We arrived in Cambodia safe and sound at around 4pm on Wednesday, when we got here we went straight to our room and crashed until 1030am the next day, clearly we were tired. When we got up yesterday we were prepared to go find a cheaper guest house than the hotel we were at, but they offered us the room for $5/night each so we stayed. We wondered around the city of siem reap during the day, my god was it hot. We came back to our room after a few hours for our daily nap. Ah, what a hard life we live eh? Haha. Later last night after dinner we decided to head down to the night market where we each got a pair of alladin pants! This is my second pair now... I'm slightly addicted... Be warned that when I come home I will probably live in them! We met a nice guy from Germany who is traveling alone so we invited him to join us. We all went to the bar after the market, had a beer or two and smoked sheesha from the hooka... It was chocolate flavored... Yum. Dont worry aunts and uncles, it's not a drug! Beer here is only $2.50 for a giant bottle and it's pretty good too... We even had one with breakfast haha.

Today we went on a tour of the temples. They were amazing. I couldn't believe how the walls are all hand carved with a story in extreme detail... It was the most beautiful art I've ever seen... I really need to get a USB cord so I can load the photos on Facebook for everyone to see. The temples had sooo many stairs!! And because it was so ridiculously hot, we only made it through 2 of the 3 temples. I felt like I was going to faint and poor shannon's hip was starting to really bother her. She did amazingly well though! We all deserve a pat on the back I think ;)
We just got back to the hotel and it's time to take it easy i think. I'm exhausted! We might go to see the floating villages tomorrow, which I am epically excited about, and then the killing fields.
I absolutely love Cambodia so far. The people here are so beautiful inside and out!
I love you and miss you all so much!!!
