Temples and cockroaches

We made only a quick stop in Cambodia and spent four days in Siem Reap, home of Angkor Wat. Aaron and I spent two days biking around Angkor's temple ruins and another day at the back of a tuk-tuk checking out temples further away. We took many, many photos that we'll post soon. We're sorting through them.

Cucarachas

We've hopped to Southern Thailand for a little beach time. We splurged on accommodations after spending a sleepless night in a cheaper place that had unwanted squatters. The first cockroach we saw was on the bed (eek!) and about the size of a human ear. After finding another one under the bed skirt, we asked for a new room. All was well, until Aaron made a midnight bathroom trip and stepped on a crunchy one. For the next few nights we upgraded to a nice resort with a pool and buffet breakfast. The off-season prices are not too taxing on the budget.

We're now back to staying in cheaper places but we're a little more careful about checking under the bed before checking in.
