Maggie and have been walking all around Luang Prabang today, we saw Buddhist temples, wedding processions and a sunset over the Mekong river from our own private river boat (sort of).
We really like this city as it has a laid back atmosphere much different from Hanoi, we had a tasty breakfast at our guesthouse and then headed out walking to see the downtown of the city.
the Laos language has an awesome way of saying hello, the Lao say sabadi ( pronounced Sa Baa Dee) and everyone seems to say this with a smile and warm wishes. Maggie And I can't get enough of everyone saying hello when they pass each other on the street, it is very welcoming and respectful.
As we were adventuring around downtown Luang Prabang processions of cars would stream by filled with people singing and making all kinds of racket in a wedding celebration, really a cool sight.
As we headed back to our guest house, Maggie saw a sign for sunset river boat cruises, 5.50 per person for the public boat, or 55.00 per person for a private boat. We decided on the public boat and headed down the ramp and across the gangplank over the Mekong river to find we were the only two people on this 100 person boat! It was great, we cruised up the river with drinks served to us by a very attentive waiter and spun the boat around just in time to see the sun drop behind the mountains outside of Luang Prabang.
were off to dinner, have a good night, also. The Celtics look phenomenal with pierce draining 3's the way he did against Chicago.
