a few pics from my way into laos

a meal along the way. chicken cooked in a hollowed out coconut, sticky rice, local mushrooms, and a beerlao. great combo.

sunset over a hilltop wat in udomxay, loas.

caught in one laos' infamous mud slides. thankfully, my driver was very industrious
and found a way to get the farthest bus unstuck, making us the first to get through. only 45 minutes, not bad. the two other trucks though, there must've been there for a while. they were axle deep in drying mud and the drivers were using small shovels to try and dig them out.
