Laos Update

2 nights in Phosavan were quiet. Now in ancient royal city of Louang Praban. Good food, cool weather. A few nights of tourism here coming up. Been a bit disconnected, as both hotels we've been in have neither TV nor radio. Touring the plain of jars was fascinating - lots of bomb craters from the vietnam war. Timeless scenery that could have been right out of a movie. The road here wound through the mountains, and we dipped in and out of heavy wet cloudbanks.
