The trip to the Cham holy site was interesting, a bus ride, an enthusiastic guide . The start was a visit to a museum to locate the site and the period in history. Too bad it was a tour which meant the museum time was too short to really understand what we were about to see. Our guide though did his best to add anecdotes and history to the tour to make up for the too quick museum time. The visit to the site was on foot with some time to breathe in the clean air in the jungle setting, a nice respite from the city air. My lungs were quite grateful! The site itself was severely damaged by American bombing but being repaired by archeologists with the task of rediscovering those skills from the past that produced bricks that would have lasted through the millenia.
I loved every step through the old and crumbling world and the history these places embrace.
