Day 2, Part 3

The final temple we went to was at Ta Prohm. This temple was were they filmed part of Tomb Raider. There were TONS of people present at this one. We had to move with the crowd, wait to take pictures, and work really hard to get pictures of the temple WITH OUT other people in them.


We decided that if we come back we would do this temple as one of the first ones and that way there would be less people and we could better explore and not feel like cattle being herded through a gate. It was amazing to see the trees over taking the buildings and how they are allowing it as part of the charm for this temple. You can tell that the movie crew was here because the path to the temple is wide and well build as well as the wooden walk ways inside parts of the ancient structure.


By the time we were done looking and walked to find our driver we had been out for 6 hours! So we headed back into the city and arranged for our driver to take us to a Fishing village after we ate lunch and rested. While we were eating Heather made the comment that you know you are hungry when you don't talk while you eat. I laughed because we both were over half way through our meal and hadn't said one word to each other since our food arrived. But 6 hours on almonds, 1 banana, and water I can't imagine why I was so hungry :)

Mark 4:7-8 "Other seed fell among the thorns, and the thorns came up and choked it, and it yielded no crop. 8 "Other seeds fell into the good soil, and as they grew up and increased, they yielded a crop and produced thirty, sixty, and a hundredfold."

The trees taking over the temples is a great picture of Jesus' parables.

Thanks for the post, it was really cool.
