Is only the most awesome place ever. So laid back and relaxed, but with a ton of nature-y stuff to do. It actually reminds me a bit of Pecos: kind of a sleepy backwater town, but in this absolutely gorgeous setting.
Yesterday we just wandered around the town and went into and out of a bunch of wats (buddhist temples), visited the Royal Palace Museum, and saw the Royal Ballet perform a series of traditional Lao dances in the evening, which was really beautiful.
Today we rented bikes and rode around the town, and then in the afternoon, we visited the nearby Kuang Xi Waterfall and went swimming there. So beautiful and so refreshing. The water was really cold and the falls had several layers, some of which were pools where you could swim, others which were strictly falls. Some people were jumping off the waterfall into one of the pools, or jumping off a rope swing (stupid!), but Liz and I just stayed in one of the wading pools.
Tomorrow we have our cooking class and we're going to wake up early to watch the monks walk.
