It is such a change being back from Laos. That is such an incredible country; the mountains, the importance of the rivers, the food!!! But most notably, the people. I didn't think it was possible to come across more welcoming people than in Nepal and Thailand, but Laos proved me wrong.
Luang Prabang was a great city. A diverse mix of Lao, Hmong, and Khmu peoples, rich Lao culture and French colonialism, Buddhist temples and tourism. It was a great way to spend our last days in Laos.
We have been in Chiang Mai for the last couple of days. Laurie took a really great class in making silver jewelry. I was dazzled by the beautiful ring she made in just 6 hours!!! Now we are off to Pai, a small hippie community in the north.
Hope all is well with everyone.
Much love,
Eddie and Laurie
