Gloria Lee, Tomb Raider.

I wish! [haha]

M & I have decided that we would NEVER wear Lara Croft's outfit while treasure hunting. We prefer comfortable and practical over look-i'm-practically-naked! But, I'd push for a utility belt for sure :D

I bring this up because yesterday (our 3rd day in Cambodia), we biked to Ta Phrom (sp?) where they shot Tomb Raider [hehe]. In fact, reference to Ms. Jolie's visit here can be seen in a lot of the tourist places and the things that Cambodian guides mention. The Tomb Raider cocktail drink, in fact, sounds kind of yummy :D

The temple was jungle infested, which was rather beautiful to see. It was fun to explore/climb/walk around.

We biked back to Siem Reap in a monsoon shower--refreshing after the blaze of the day.

And being in Cambodia, we also, of course, saw Angkor Wat. That was on our second day in Cambodia. Too bad it was covered in tarp from renovations (boo!). It was fun to climb up crazy-high steps and walk around this (really) old temple, which stands as the symbol of Cambodia. We also made a trip to Angkor Thom that day too. The temple of Bayon was pretty awesome. The (sort of) smiling face of the ego-tripping King who built it is EVERYWHERE.

No time for pictures, I'm afraid. This entry is rather short too. Oops. Oh, well. Time to prepare for the trip to the other side of Cambodia tomorrow :)
