Stonecrest, GA 30038<\/p>\n

Sunday April 17, 2022<\/p>\n

It turned out to be a lovely day at the Cambodian temple in Lithonia\/Stonecrest.\u00a0 Great running into the Mey family and also going on a mini adventure to Arabia Mountain for quick family photos.\u00a0 Arabia is only about 10 minutes from the temple so I highly suggest going before or afterwards to see the unique landscape.<\/p>\n

Here are a selection of my photos, more to come when I have time to go thru them all!\u00a0 Thanks to all the ladies who posed, I know it must be really hot and taxing in those really ornate khmer outfits!<\/p>\n
