Wednesday, Feb 4th, we flew from Vietnam to Siem Reap,, Cambodia. Thursday we visited one of the 20,000 “Killing Fields” sites in this country, and learned a little about the Khmer Rouge. this site happened to be at a Buddhist monastery, so we had a chat and a blessing from a monk.
Friday was Angkor Wat visit, plus another temple called Ta Prohm. We had lunch at the home of a local family , where we learned about chewing the betel nut.

    Killing Fields had to be sobering. Were you sing with the children I bet you were.
