Champasak, Laos

---

Champasak, Laos has the ruins of Vat Phu Champasak. These date back a ways and were built upon by the Khmer empire 900 years ago. The town was basically one road that led to the site. The ruins led up a hill with steep steps and it was hot as hell. Once on top the view was spectacular and weel worth the climb.

There were several groups of Lao people that had come to visit including a family that wanted a picture with me. They were very nice and we spent 10 minutes trading cameras and taking pictures with each other.

Afterwards I rode around the back dirt roads listening to Bob Dylan's John Wesley Harding until the sky opened up and I was completely soaked.
