Today, we went out and about in Vientienne on our own.......well, mostly. We had to convince relatives that we were competent to navigate on our own, first. They are very protective and don't want us taken advantage of, etc. Anyway, we broke loose, checked out the "talaat sao" or market in Vientienne. Afterward, we caught a bus to an area on the Mekong river called "Buddha Park" or Xieng Khuan. Later, we went to a "successful" relative's home for yet another exquisite Lao style dinner. So far, it doesn't look like we're losing weight!!! Roger is doing amazingly well adjusting to the language. All of my relatives love him.
Those last two pics basically blew my mind. I've gotta go over there. That's all there is to it.
