Buddha Park!

Part of a Lao lunch

In the morning Hoa and her two Vietnamese friends, Thao and Kim, me, Madame Xuyen and Arro went to the morning market. For lunch we made a traditional Lao lunch with some other guests. In the afternoon we all went to Buddha Park, a 25 minute tuk-tuk ride from Vientiane.  The park was very cool to see and afterwards we went to the a Wat for a traditional Lao sauna and massage! All in all a very fun day.
