Adventures of Ashley in Cambodia Day 8

Day 8

Today was sight seeing day in Siem Reap at Angkor Watt. We got up at 4 am to go see the sunrise at the temples. I was extremely tired!!! I just wanted to go back to bed. The sunrise was beautiful and another reminder of God's creation. Then we went inside the temples. I was amazed and wondered how humans could build these. I will have to post pics of them sometime, because they were undescribeable. Ty, Josh, and Brandon decided to go exploring at the first temple and we were waiting on them. They had found a monkey and had a run in with it. I think Ty made it a little mad. Later on we went to the Jungle Temple. The roots of the tree built into the sides of the temple were HUGE. It just left me in awe. Randa and I decided to go exploring and got lost. Everywhere we turned the places were blocked off and it was dark and creepy. We both started to panic. Then we found a window out. Turns out the area we were at was a danger area and we weren't supposed to be in there. I bought some drawings from a man that was selling them from the orphans. Then we went back to the hotel and Randa and I both had a short nap. We got to visit the new Rapha House in Siem Reap, which was really cool to see how God is expanding the work in Cambodia. It was really neat!! Then we went to a very small mall and I had American food at the Lucky Burger...chicken nuggets never tasted better!!!! I also had some ice cream too. That night we went to the night market and I got some more stuff. I also got a fish massage..which sounds really gross. We put our feet in a tank with fish and they ate off our dead skin. It tickled my feet and the first 10 minutes I jumped and screamed the whole time. It was soo ticklish. It may seem gross, but it did make my feet softer. After that I got a leg massage and it was amazing. The lady did an awesome job and even put me to sleep. It was very relaxing. Then we went back to the hotel and went to bed.
