Beautiful Siem Reap

After Phnom Penh, we went to Siem Reap, where we went to the temples at Angkor, got some delicious deserts, and did doctor fish.

Ta Prohm was the first temple we went to. We walked in, and it was quiet so quiet I could hear all the sounds of the little creatures. We were the only ones there. There were trees growing on top of the temple, their roots twisting around the temples blocking some of the paths. It was so cool to have Ta Prohm all to ourselves.

We went to the most famous temple, Angkor Wat, last of all so we could see the sun set behind it. I was so excited I had been waiting all day long to see it. We walked through the entrance. I gasped. Angkor Wat, the most famous temple in all of Angkor, had construction on it! I was mad at first, but after seeing the inside I was OK. And there were monkeys roaming around everywhere.

After going to the temples we wanted some dessert, so we went to a place called The Blue Pumpkin. At The Blue Pumpkin, there were lots of delicious ice creams.After we all ordered our ice creams, we went up stairs to the lounge. There were white couches all along the walls. When I sat down I sank into the couch. It was so soft.

After dessert, we went to do doctor fish. Doctor fish is where the fish eat the dead skin of your feet. I was really excited. I put my feet in. And pulled them out. It tickled so bad! I put my feet back in and braced them, trying so hard not to laugh.

Siem Reap was so cool. I loved seeing all the old crumbling temples and the beautiful architecture. I hope I can go back someday.
