We have spent the past five days in none other than Laos! We arrived in Vientiane late at night on the 24th. The next day we visited the Paxtuai arch which was built to commemorate the struggle for Laotian independence.

Later that day we took the train to Luang Prabang, a charming mountain town. The next day we visited the morning market, the imperial palace, and walked along the river. We then spent the rest of the day lounging by the pool!

On the 27th we woke up early to beat the crowds to the Kuang Si which is a travertien waterfall. It was very busy but also stunning, we decided it looked like a fairy paradise.

Later in the day once we were fully rested we walked up to a Buddhist temple with a great view!

Laos looks beautiful, especially that waterfall! How is the food? Is it different from what you enjoyed in Vietnam?
ReplyDeleteAlso, why arches for independence in so many different countries?
ReplyDeleteI read this as I watch the snow fall in Chester, Vermont (and lots of the country). I spent 45 minutes shoveling the first go-round so it wouldn't be too much when it piled up. Another hour in a bit to keep it under control. I see you all in summer clothes, probably a bit warm even then, when it'll (maybe) get up to 32 sometime today. Envy. There's no other word.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the excellent pictures and commentary, as usual.
