Laos

We spent another busy day at the magnificent Angkor Wat temples, this time on regular, non-motorized bikes, peddling about 15 miles in 94 degree heat. It was fun, but very tiring and I had a bout with the runs, so that was a challenge.
Today we flew to Vientiane, Laos, a 3 hr. flight. There is a beautiful monument, like the "Arc de Triomph" in Paris, built during the French ocupation. Already we noticed the change, a lot cleaner and dryer air, but still very hot. We're only hear for a night, the off to VienVang. a 3hr. bus windy bus ride along the river. It will be very mountainous. a big change from the flat lands so far.

Oh, a bunch of the pix that I thought were lost after I posted them, ended up on our old blog: www.longsouthamerica.blogspot.com in case you are interested. There may be some duplicate.
