March 14: Siem Reap Day 3, Bakong and Bayon Temples

Our last day in Siem Reap was busy with visits to 2 temples as well as to a well/pump we provided for a small village about 45 minutes from Siem Reap. We were able to visit the nearby school (150 students) and meet the elder of the group of homes that will benefit from the ease of having a well and pump nearby. Otherwise, they were getting all their water from a nearby pond.  The young girl at the entrance to the schoolroom was too young to go to school, but her sibling was in that class so she frequently stayed by the door.  One of my favorite temples was Bayon in the Angkor Thom complex…you can see the overview with all the many faces on the towers…still beautiful!
