Beng Mealea

I really had an Indian Jones experience on Saturday! I went to a temple that was 2 hours away by tuk tuk. The temple is called Beng Mealea. It was built around the same time as Angkor Wat and the structure is like Angkor Wat. This temple has mostly collpased though. To investigate, you have to climb over and under rubble. It's quite the unique experience. To add to the atmosphere, it was raining! So, with an umbrella in one hand and a camera in the other, I explored! I think my favorite part of this journey was driving through the countryside! I saw more oxcarts than tuk tuks. I even saw an ox drawn plow in a rice field. People out there have very little resources. They are an hour from a market or medical care. And, they don't have cars! Quite an experience!
