Arrival in Laos

Today we crossed the Mekong River into Laos and are getting ready for a 2 day slow boat trip down the Mekong River to Luang Prabang city. There will be alot to do here in Laos as far as outdoor activities go. It is still pretty wild and scenic here, with rafting, biking, hiking, etc. and most of the people still subsistence hunt for food.

Here is an interesting New York Times article on the secret CIA war in Laos and the Hmong people.
