Yesterday, while I was busy being awestruck at Angkor Wat’s grandeur, Ashley was busy asking a Buddhist Monk if he minded his picture being taken–he didn’t. Hope you like it!
Coincidentally, he was touring the same temples as we were with his little brother and mother. We saw him first at Angkor Wat, then Angkor Thom, then at a handful of other temple ruins. If I remember correctly his tuk-tuk also passed ours once or twice, too.
So awesome…what a wonderful experience!
