These photos are from the Semester at Sea Fall 2007 Voyage’s trip to Cambodia.
This is my friend Tommy sitting high upon a ledge on the ancient Angkor Wat Temple.
So, even though we took a photo in front of the famous Angkor Thom, my friend Tommy didn’t even notice the giant statue in the background. Once in a lifetime…
Both my friend and I had a staring contest with the statue, and even through the valiant effort on both our parts, we managed to lose.

This gate is to remember the atrocity that took place in Cambodia, one of the worst genocides in human history.
This little boy was helping his grandma pick up the fallen blossoms the covered the ground at the Tuol Sleng former prison camp in Phnom Penh.
I’ll take credit for teaching this young boy some signs from the West. He tried to mimic my peace sign… and this is what he did.
These are the gnarliest tree roots we’ve ever seen. So, of course, my friend had to climb them.
