Toady is temple day! There were over 400 temple that acted as the community centers for, religion, administration, and commerce. They are constructed with a moot and three defensive walls and the temple in the center.  In  the morning we visited the best known Angkor Wat. At mid day we head back to the hotel for lunch and stay out of the heat, 100’F with 99% humidity. At 3 PM it’s back to the second temple Angkor Thom. In the 12C it was the largest city in the world with more than a million inhabitants and rules over an empire covering most of SE Asia. The city walls is 8m high and stretches for 12mk broken only by five 23m high gates.
