slow boat to LUANG PRUBANG, Laos

the journey was EPIC! We took a slow boat (was supposed to carry ~100 people...carried about 150) from the great city of Chiang Khong to Luang Prubang. This voyage was a two day trip down the Mekong River... completely crazy! We met some amazing folks and actually made friends whom I think we'll see sometime in our future trips. Asiya and Ali from Canada, Joanne and John from Canada/ New Zealand, Justin and Malvina from Ireland.... the list goes on. We were the "cool kids" on the boat... and, of course, everyone wanted to hang out with us. LOL

We finally got to our destination and LP was a great city with obvious french influence, great Laos massages, good food, and great bars! The rain was serious... nothing like I've seen in Cali!
