we've left the farm in thailand (which was amazing). we did all of the things mentioned in the last post, plus some. i've tried unsuccessfully to upload some photos for you to share in the beauty of the place. i hope i'll make it back there in the future...
it took two days on the slowboat to get here along the mekong river. the pillows we purchased were such a good investment. but it was a beautiful and peaceful trip, and we've arrived in luang prabang, laos. this is a nice little town, if a little touristy. that's the hard thing: being a traveler instead of a tourist. i don't quite know how to cross that line sometimes.
the water festival for the new year hasn't yet begun-- officially. we've been drenched while walking down the street on a few occasions. we've also avoided a few soakings due to jasmine's "teacher look." the festival officially begins on the 13th, i think, and i'm not sure what city we'll be in at that point.
we leave tomorrow to vang vieng which is a 7-hour bus trip. i'll let you know how it goes; there's always some excitement!
love,
alexis
