Bangkok Airlines took us to Siem Reap, Cambodia. Only a short flight. Coming in I looked for houses and saw small clusters of homes built over the water. Once we were almost landing there was a city of about 60,000. Our taxi driver told us 80% of the people are farmers and fishermen. The main street was covered in hotels, one right after another. We are staying at the Shining Angkor Hotel. We took a tuk tuk out to the ancient religious city. We climbed up a mountain at sunset and to Phnom Bakheng. It is beautiful. At the start of our climb up the path we saw an elephant leaving with a seat of people on his back. Once we got back down we saw quite a few. Dinner in town on "Pub Street." Very western couple of blocks with restaurants and bars. I ate curry and sweet and sour chicken. It was very good! After dinner we got our feet cleaned in a tank of fish. They nibbled at our feet for a good twenty minutes. Wonderful.
