The Khmu village I visited on my trek out of Luang Namtha
Women entering the village from the fields.
Meanwhile, the men were drinking rice whiskey out of a stone jar, supposedly in celebration of the last day of the school year.
The food on the trek was delicious -- sticky rice and simple stir-fried vegetables. Served on a giant banana leaf.
After Luang Namtha I went to Nong Khiaw, a small riverside town. From there I took a 7-hour boat ride to Luang Prabang, pulling in during sunset.
Luang Prabang was a tourist zoo, with a night market that spanned for blocks.
Luckily there were day trips to get out of the city, like to this cool waterfall.
Also, I found a back alley with a cheap noodle stand that I had to keep going back to.
The combination of chili and lime...sublime!
More pictures of Laos soon.
