Finally, I am back online. The last few days were spent at hotels of no quality to have any internet connection that could handle image uploading. Here are the pictures of our two days in Luang Prabang, Laos. If there were only one place one could go to in Southeast Asia to experience the whole thing, it would be this little town. Situated right on the Mekong River, Luang Prabang is an artsy little village full of crafts, cafes, little restaurants and incredible views of the river. We had a wonderful time there.
The Mekong right before sunset from our hotel's terrace. We had dinner right there...the only downside was that there were bunches of big hairy spiders in the lawn and on the tablecloths!
You can take one of these wooden boats on the Mekong from Laos all the way to Thailand. A two day, one night ride. 
My dad and I hired this guy and his boat for a few hours to ship us around on the Mekong. He was very proud of his boat that he had just recently bought for 1000000.00 Kip, which is equal to $1500.
The river is the key to life here. Playing, bathing, fishing, transporting..it all happens on the Mekong.
