Mekong River

Mekong River Luang PrabangThe last two days have been amazing. We just spent two days traveling down the Mekong River, from Thailand to Laos. We travelled for 7 hours yesterday and 7 hours today. Last night we spent the night in a village of only 1000 people called Pakbang.

Mekong River HousesThe village was very muddy and there wasn't much going on, but Ian and I were able to find cold beer.

I am now in a city called Luang Prabang in Laos. It is so beautiful. How have I never heard of this city?

Talaya fishing LaosOne of the first things I saw when I arrived was two young boys fishing with a talaya. They hold and throw it exactly the same way we do in Saipan. Unbelievable! How cool is that?
