This morning we headed off at 8 AM with Santhou (our guide, now properly spelled) to Beng Mealea, about 1 1/2 hours from Siem Reap.  Beng Mealea was built in the same reign of the king who built Angkor Wat and shares similar architectural features, most notably the seven-headed snake guarding the temple.  This temple has been left to the jungle intentionally. Happily, the land mines were cleared in 2011. We (mostly Delaney and Kendall) were able to climb all over the temple–amazing!  Trees grow out of the tops and sides of the remaining towers–some trees with limbs strong enough to serve as swings.  On the journey, we bought (and ate) sticky rice cooked in bamboo on the side of the road. We saw water buffalo in the muddy rice fields, trucks carrying smuggled gasoline, fried crickets on platters in the markets (for snacks, no thank you), and a motorbike carrying three pigs upside down to market. Tonight we watched four traditional Cambodian dances and bravely tried BBQ duck soup plus green mango salad with fish shavings.  Fish shavings are not our favorite thing, as it happens.
