week-a-lifetime-in Luang Prabang, Laos...

This fall I spent a month in Bali, Singapore, Laos and Vietnam.

I spent a full week-a lifetime-in Luang Prabang, Laos and loved every minute of it.

Each morning I woke at 6 am and went to my guest house porch to watch the monks passing with the alms baskets. Daily morning fair-trade coffee at a cafe along the muddy waters of the Mekong river. Days were spent biking to local villages or nearby waterfalls and Wats (temples). Afternoon massages and evening conversations with monks and listening to 5:30 pm chants before enjoying tasting local Lao dishes wrapped in banana leaves, accompanied by sticky rice and a big beerlao.

Wow, that sounds incredible! What kind of food do they eat in Laos?

Now if you'd just tacked on the Earthwatch Origins of Angkor archaeology expedition :-)

We visited Singapore, and did the Indonesian "Spice Islands" tour including Bali in 1993. It was one of the most wonderful trips I have ever taken. I would love to go back to visit Vietnam and spend some time in Thailand.
