Vientiane-

---

Well

we made it.... and trust me this is an accomplishement to say the least. Travelling between Thailand and Loas is lets just say complicated. I have many stories to tell about our travels, but I will save that for later.

For now it will talk about Vientiane

what a beautiful quaint city, where we seem to be the attraction of the locals, very few tourists in this town and we have enjoyed it tremendously. Laos has a strong French presense and you can see a lot of French arhitecture and colonial houses. We managed to get secure a an old French colonial house as our guesthouse, which we enjoyed for a few nights.

Attractions in the city

Patouxy- this is very similar to the Champs Elysees (sp?) in Paris. great view of the city!


Stupa That luang- the main temple in the city which is said to contain a hair from the Buddha. It was reconstructed by the French after lootings in the early 1500 hundreds

Vat Xieng Khuan- This is a park where a Budda was errecter that is 50 m long. It was very cool to hang in the park amoung local school children and of course the monks that asked Lisa is she wanted to be her honey! seriously,.... we have seen a whole different side to monk hood.
