Today we had a little later start compared to yesterday, and we were at the temples by 8:00 a.m.  The first temple we saw was a 50 minute drive in to the jungle.  It was a smaller temple, but it was very intricately built and carved.  This temple was very unique because it was built with a pink/rose tinted sandstone.  Afterwards we drove to another temple where a scene in Tomb Raider was filmed!  It was very cool because they left the temple as they found it, intertwined with nature.  There were giant ancient trees growing on top of the temple and poking out from inside.  It was amazing and very surreal.  We headed back to the hotel where we sat by the pool for a few hours until it was time for our English class.  We went next door to the Journeys Within Our Community center where we helped teach an English class.  We played lots of fun games with the young adults there, and they were very cute about speaking.  We returned to our room after class had ended and read and showered up for the evening.  We took at Tuk Tuk and had dinner again at Madame Butterfly and then came back and shared a chocolate mouse with our new friend at the front desk who we gave the American name Mark.  It was hilarious to hang out with some of the staff and hear their stories!  Not to mention the mouse was delicious =).  We are having a packing party to get ready for our big travel day!
