Luang Prabang, Laos

1/24/2019

0 Comments

 
Laos has been my favorite part of our trip to date! The streets of Luang Prabang in the north are filled with families selling traditional bamboo baskets or groceries out of a front room in their home. Noodle shops on every corner! Good coffee. 33 working temples. A night market everyday where you can buy handmade textiles or mulberry paper products. And a morning market everyday where you can shop for food from the delicious to the ridiculous! Our guesthouse has 4 baby cats, so naturally I’m in heaven. We visited the Traditional Arts and Ethnology Center to view some original Hmong clothing, now worn only during the New Years celebrations in April. I took a weaving class in a village outside town. And a visit to the UXO Information Center was really important to me. UXO stands for unexploded ordinance, and it’s an enormous problem in Laos, historically the most bombed country in the world per capita. From here we catch our boat, The Mekong Sun for a 6 day cruise on the Mekong River!

    Why We Travel?

    -to leave the rat race behind and remind ourselves that we as individuals have value beyond our monetary income (or lack there-of). We are human BEINGS, not human doings.

    -to put ourselves outside our comfort zone, which lets us grow.

    -to eat.

    -to find new artistic inspiration, and sometimes cool materials.

    -to remind ourselves how lucky we are to live in Bozeman.

    -to spend time together, playing and dreaming, away from work and responsibility.
