Laos, Laos, Laos









Over the Mekong River, geographically so close, yet worlds away. This picture is of Vanh's brothers house, as we sat on the front porch of her mother's house. Vanh is a waitress in the cafe where I had breakfast my first morning in Luang Prubang. After several short conversation clips as she passed by my table, she invited me to "her mother's party". Ok! Little did I realize that it was a Bacci ceremony in the countryside with her entire extended family and many others from her small village. (I continue to be SO lucky with the people I'm meeting and the invitations I'm receiving!)

Without the help of photoshop, I don't know how to shrink and rotate pics, so more will have to wait until Chiang Mai or a greater dose of patience with figuring this out.
