In the 12th Century, these people had a lot of time on their hands to move rocks and carve AMAZING bas reliefs! We've explored plenty, and now we're both turning our minds toward heading home. Today was a trip to Banteay Srei, one of the more delicately carved and created temples, and a 40 minute hike up a mountain to Kbal Shree (?) where 1,000 lingas are carved into the river bed, along with more hindu gods. I had a terrific time, Chaz not so much, considering the heat and the long trek up the mountain. He's pretty much done for the trip, and while I'll go see a few more minor temples tomorrow, my thoughts are on the return trek.
