The Capital City





It's a good thing we leave for Hanoi tomorrow because there is really not much going on in the capital of Laos. We are just resting up, and getting ready for the flight to Vietnam. The flight should take just over an hour, and by early evening tomorrow, we will begin our month in Vietnam. Here are a few pics from Veng Viang - the town itself left much to be desired, but the landscape couldn't have been more beautiful. There's also a picture of a local Veng Viang menu, and a new mall being built in Ventiane (note the scaffolding made of tied together bamboo).

Hey guys! I LOVE the menu! I would have ordered the special fried.
Tucker - I was eliminated in the first round of play offs. :-(

That blows, Mandi. Mine start this week and I hope to destroy McLaughlin. Too bad we don't have a picture of the menu we saw yesterday listing "fried rice with crap."
