On the Road Again ...

Xanh Tươi

The first installment of the way too many photos I took while wandering outside Hanoi last weekend.

Laos - Luang Prabang

Luang Prabang, the former royal capital of Laos, is located on the Mekong like Vientiane, but in the north of the country.

The city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is full of temples.

And it has a large night market, strangely empty when I was there but I assume that it is crowded in high season.

Life on the Mekong:

Laos - Wait, what Wat am I in now ??

Wat That Luang

Wat smoke-free (do they have incense patches for the Buddha's, I wonder?)

Wat Sisaket

(yes, it's an ancient Vientiane-style Buddhist fan...)

Laos - going places

Tuktuks as seen from Victory Arch

Laundry service!

The school bus...
