If you are wondering why there are no photos of Vang Vieng, read previous blog concerning tubing in river while drinking, doing shots and other activities dangerous to digital, non-waterproof cameras.
If you care about viewing the pictures in this post in the order in which they occurred than scroll to the bottom of this posting and start there. If not enjoy the pictures and the captions and I will endeavor to put them in the correct order next time.
LUANG PRABANG, LAOS
The blurry one is me jumping in the water from a cliff above.
Jess on a tree vine swing.
The most beautiful waterfalls in Laos and, in my humble opinion, anywhere.
A fashion show at one of Luang Prabang's local bars. The HIVE!
Sunset from the highest point in Luang Prabang, Phu Si.
A great photo of some young monks in Luang Prabang. Everyone carries an umbrella (sun, not rain).
A little computer time.
More temple shots.
One of the largest Buddha's we saw in Luang Prabang
Jess on the sturdy bridge post spelunking.
The world's safest bridge that only cost 1000kip to cross. Needless to say when a dollar is 8,000kip it was a steal.
Some stalactites dripping with moisture in one of the three caves that Jess visited.
Bathing and pounding seaweed. Why do one when you can do two. Especially if all your friends are around to help.
A sign pointing Jess to the cave. Very elaborate and certainly something that will stand the test of time.
CHIANG MAI, THAILAND
Lisa, Nana, Mo and Jess after another fantastic family dinner.
This is a nice picture of my uncle Mo letting me know how much he loves me. We spent the better part of a day sitting in individual bamboo bungalows on a lake enjoying lunch and booze. To summon a waiter down the hill to our bungalow, we slammed two bamboo sticks together.
A beautifully inlaid dragon guarding the outside of a temple in Chiang Mai. Many of the sculptures outside the temples are adorned with mirrors that make them shimmer in the sunlight.
The was a wax (but scarily very life-like) figure that was situated in the front of a temple we visited. For at least 5 minutes we were both sure it was an actual monk meditating. It is thus far the only wax figurine we have seen in a temple.
This was one of the temples that we saw in Chiang Mai, Thailand. The strings reaching out from the Buddha in the center represent interconnectedness of those in the temple.
