Temples!!

Wow!! We have finished up our three days visiting the temples and they have exceeded every one of our expectations! The group favorite (well most of us) was Ta Promh, which was where Tomb Raider was filmed. It was unbeleiveable. After visiting Bayon, we road elephants! They were so huge and gentle and the view from above was awesome. Today we got to go to a GIGANTIC waterfall. It was one of the most beautiful spots I have ever witnessed. We waded in the cool water and swam by the waterfall which was such a spectacular experience for everyone. Today is our last day in Siem Reap. It's emotional for all of us because we have become so attatched to everyone and everything here. We almost feel like locals. We had to say goodbye to our tuk tuk drivers and it was terrible! haha Anyways, this experience is one that has been so beneficial to everyone and we have all learned so much. Traveling really is the way to learn about every one of life's lessons and I know cambodia will change us all. I'm not trying to be cliche, but it's true. Le'Ahi!

Hi Bri!
Thanks for writing and the wonderful description of the past few days. Even though we miss our girls, we too are sad that your time in Cambodia is drawing to a close. It just sounds so rich and wonderful. Can't wait to see everyone's photos and film......

I am glad for the blog updates and individual emails you girls have provided; they make all of us feel a part of what you have done, seen and learned. Remember all of it, as you will cherish it and benefit from it the rest of your lives. What a joy! Enjoy the last days and have a safe journey home.
