This Thanksgiving was the second turkey day in a row I spent with friends in a foriegn country. Last year, Italy, this year it happened to be Cambodia. Specifically, it was a small fried rice restaurant in Siem Riep, and I stuffed myself according to tradition. Dinner cost a whole $5 that night (about twice the cost of my next most expensive meal in the past month and a half) but I was thankful to be celebrating with friends.
The real Thanksgiving of the trip will be remembered as the next day's trip to the Temples of Angkor Wat. After a few painfully slow skype calls (sorry 'bout the connection Kirsten and Family!) The three of us ran all over the nearby temple complex. We have had a lot to be thankful for already on the trip, and this day was no exception. The temples were incredible (even though there were so many, they all started to look the same after awhile), and watching the sunset perched on top of Angkor Wat looking out on the temple gardens was icing on the cake!
In the spirit of Thanksgiving, even though I am writing this thousands of miles away, I would like to thank all of you who have kept the three of us travelers in your thoughts and prayers! It really means alot to us. All of your comments and emails are like christmas presents opened every time we can find a decent internet cafe. I am thankful for such great people in my life!!
