Luang Prabang is an enchanting little Mekong side town that seems to have more tourists than locals. This "royal capitol" of Laos has some beautiful wats and architecture and is very charming all around. The people are nice, the food is nice and life is relaxing. Tomorrow we are going on a trek organized by a Western run ecotourism company to see some ethnic villages and a waterfall. The group should be about 5 people total, plus the English speaking guide, so we are quite looking forward to that.

The Internet is slow, so we might not ever get caught up on pictures. Hopefully we will get all of our albums up when we return!
