The temples of Angkor

I've spent the last two days exploring the temples of Angkor. Let me just say, the Lonely Planet book is WRONG!!!!!!!!!!! I am all templed out. NO MORE TEMPLES!!!!!!!! Tomorrow I could go to a third grouping of them, but I'm opting out. Everything is starting to look the same and towards the end of today, I was just wandering around to entertain my driver since he took me there.

This morning I woke up early, before the sun early, and went to Angkor Wat to watch the sunrise. I had gone to bed without eating dinner and it was to early to get breakfast. Add to that, I'm not a morning person, much less a "the suns not out yet" morning person. I was pretty miserable to be around. Thankfully, I'm alone. It was so bad that during the sunrise at one point i was thinking... "this is it!?! This is what I dragged my ass out of bed for!?! You've GOT to be KIDDING me!!!!!!! I eventually changed my tune and started appreciating it. But could not wait to get back to the hotel and squeeze in a quick nap before breakfast and heading out for *sigh* more temples.

Anyways, here's a few pictures.
