Vientiane, Laos Itinerary & Photos

-A visit to the very strange Buddha park with crude concrete sculptures and lots of school kids running around.

-Scooting on a vintage 1950s red vespa all over the countryside, waving to the kids and stopping for some noodle soup and beer lao with locals who knew no english but had lots of smiles and laughs. Our old police moto helmets gave them pause.

-Delicious dining on fine french cuisine & chilled bourdeaux.

-Crossing a rickity bamboo bridge by scooter! Two 9 years olds passed us on a moto and had no fear.

-The beautiful Lao textile museum, set in a lush facility with gardens and teak buildings.

-Hanging out at another concrete monstrosity, the victory arch, a project constructed out of concrete that was supposed to be made into an airport runway.

-Watching cute laos dancers at a cultural show.
