Riverside family I lost track of the amount of waving and 'hellos' were said and done during the trip. :) |

Me with my guide Being in the middle of the hot dry season, the dust is extreme |

Wat Phnom Sampeau Nearby are caves where more tortured souls were thrown to their deaths. Sorry, but again, it's all I'll remember from this photo. |

Golden Buddha atop Wat Phnom Sampeau My first Cambodian giant Buddha! |

Wat Banan Regarded by locals as the inspiration to Angkor Wat - somewhat optimistic me thinks, considering that photo is pretty much all there is of the middle [of 5] towers |
 |
The Bamboo Train and nope, that's not my guide. I won't be posting any pics of him...just to give you the idea of what could happen still |

Royal Palace mural This mural encloses the entire compound, representing the Ramayana. |
