Angkor Wat Part 3: Sunrise

After staying up late last Tuesday to cheer as Obama became our president, Richard and Debbie roused us early to catch sunrise over Angkor Wat. We were exhausted and completely templed-out, but we knew that this was probably our one chance to see this sunrise. The colors were muted but the early morning light was beautiful, and we had fun playing with our new camera while the rest of the family admired the bas reliefs. This was the perfect ending to three templetacular days.

Pretty light inside the temple.

Richard realized his lifelong dream of visiting Angkor Wat. That kid who's running away was really cute, but didn't want to be in my photo.
