52 Photos: Luang Prabang

The prompt this week was somewhere you visited. As many of you know, I’ve been a lot of places. Picking one was hard.

I decided to go with Luang Prabang in Laos, because I’ve talked about visiting Thailand, Vietnam, and Cambodia, but not Laos, which was the fourth country in my tour of SE Asia.

I visited temples:

Wat Xieng Thong

that had disco elephants as decoration …

I drank bale fruit tea:

and BeerLao, the champagne of beers (or so I was told).

I watched monks collect merit contributions:

If you ever have a chance to visit Luang Prabang, I highly recommend it. It’s a special place.
