Never Say Never: Ta Prohm

Our third and final temple of the day was Ta Prohm. This temple was made famous to much of the U.S. thanks to Angelina Jolie and Tomb Raider. It was very cool and much of the jungle could be seen growing up through it. Trees had literally grown through parts of the temple, as you'll see in the pictures. The boys were a bit templed out at this point, but they did great. It's hard to listen to the history and stay close in places like this where you just want to RUN.

Entering through a back way, seeing another normal sight...cows on the roadside. We had to pass those guys to get through the gate. Mr. Ta said they keep cows skinny in Cambodia because they'll be killed for meat if they are nice and fat. Clearly the cows understand this way of thinking because they are skiiinnnny and bony! And they are EVERYWHERE!

A home and roadside store...

So cool!

It's tough work holding up the temple!

Mr. Ta taught us a lot and was extremely knowledgeable about each of the temples. He has so much respect for his home country.

After we finished up, we headed to Blue Pumpkin (which many have said was a must-do) for some ice cream. The upstairs has a huge bed/couch which the boys loved!
