Scenes from The Bayon, our favorite temple, which is located in the center of Angkor Thom. Each of its towers is carved with four divine faces and the temple also has beautiful and interesting bas reliefs.

Our appreciation of The Bayon may have been helped by the fact that we arrived at about 6 am while the temperature could almost be described as pleasant. By 8:15, as we moved on to other parts of Angkor Thom it felt like a sauna and by noon, well, I cannot even tell you how hot it was.

Dancing Apsaras, female spirits of the clouds and water in Buddhist and Hindu mythology.
Regan demonstrates he can dance just as well as the Apsaras.
Our visit coincided with the New Year's celebrations, so many of the Buddhas were festively decorated.
