Hello everyone! We apologize for not posting sooner, but we've been pretty low and lazy lately, enjoying the cool nights and slow movements of Luang Prabang.

Without too much fuss, here's some photos! :)


Here is the lovely Maria whilst our bike ride posing in front of the foliage that is all over this place. Its still very hot, but the air is fresh, unlike Bangkok where it most certainly is not!
It's nice to be able to finally ride BICYCLES around a town.. everywhere we've been only ever hires out motorbikes.. quite a shame since you can see so much more while biking!







This is a good example of the kind of houses people here have. I beleive this particular one is a guesthouse, not very different from one that we're staying in. Luang Prabang definitely makes you feel very at home, like you're in a small town outside of Vancouver.. very cool!





While Wat hunting yesterday, we saw many buddahs, as to be expected. This one stood out as it was all alone in the corner of the property, and basically deserted. It's so peaceful to be able to just kneel down in front of a huge statue like this and let your mind roooooam....






Here is a (blurry) shot of the night market that happens here every day.. people literally set up and tear down this market that occupies a full two blocks of road, and is shut down to traffic. Most of the vendors sell the same stuff, but for ridiculously cheap! We plan on doing this up in a couple days, when we decide what we really like ;)





What do you get when you cross a Croat, a Frenchie, a German, some Dutchies, and a Greek?? This picture! (since I built it up so nicely) We sat down at the lovely Nazim Indian restaurant and stocked up on butter chicken and masalaaaaa..






There is another photo that goes with this one, but it's totally Rated R.. if you're really nice, mayyyybe you'll get a looksy.
Basically, in Laos, they don't beleive in "change" (DAMN PENNIES! HA!) and their currency is entirely bills.. funny thing is that each of these bills equals about $2.. since we exchanged enough to sustain ourselves for a week, they gave us HUGE stacks.. totally feel like a millionaire here!






Hope you all enjoy the pics! Parents, we're doing grand, and looking forward to talking with you guys soon! Mom and Kath, expect an email next time around, and to the rest of the fam, hope you're doing well.
To everyone else, we MISS YOU!!!! Hope everyone is doing okay, and hope we're still in your thoughts because you're all in ours!

Aight, I'm out.. l8a!
