Laos

It was a two hour flight from Cambodia to Luang Prabang, Laos.  Who would have ever thought that I would find my way to that country.  It is a small and quite poor country.  It received tons of bombs during the Vietnam war--enough for each person in the country.  Many of them are still unexplored so they continue to do damage, especially to children.  The US has been trying to help them get rid of them.  The city sits at the confluence of the Mekong and Nam Khan rivers.  

This is a beautiful spot in southeast Asia.  It was the royal capital for many years so has remnants of those times.  So we visited the Royal Palace built in 1904.

We went to one of the more famous buddhist temple with the largest buddha.

The. City has a charm all its own and touches us to. Another culture.
