From Laos to Cambodia

We have been taking advantage of the quiet beauty of Laos to prepare for our visit to Cambodia. Our peaceful hotel at the end of a dirt road, in Vientiane, was just what we needed. Yesterday we arrived in Siem Reap. The city has been discovered. I saw a sign that said, "Kentucky Fried Chicken coming soon". You'd better hurry, before the Westernization becomes overwhelming.

We jumped in a tuk tuk, and explored the old city, with it's old market. It was very animated, with rows of stalls selling all sorts of items. After that I made use of the hotel pool, and sat in the shade, reading to prepare for the next day's trip to the temples.

One of us will write about that. I am leaving for an Apsara dance performance and dinner. These dances are depicted on the walls of Angkor's temples. More soon......
