Welcome to Laos

Today we made the crossing from Thailand to Laos. It started out with a boat trip across the Mekong and an hour spent in line getting a Laos visa. We then boarded a beautiful long private boat for the first half of a 2-day trip down the Mekong. 8 hours of open water, sunshine, and warm breezes, sitting around, reading, and a quick visit to a rural village...it was fantastic! We're docked in Pak Beng for the night, which is humid but beautiful. We're in the mood for a break from rice and noodles, so we're doing eaat Indian. Tomorrow it's back on the boat!
