This chapter will be short and a little boring because I only spent 24 hours in Vientiane. However I haven't skipped a city yet and won't start now. I signed up for Kayaking down the river toward Vientiane, which was fun.
________________
The next day I walked around Vientiane with my camera to grab a few photos to show y'all.
This one is called "That Dam Wat"
This big thing demonstrates communist architecture at its ugliest. However it has a good lookout over the city.
I also had time to wander through a market.
English grammar books. I didn't know anybody actually reads these things. Education is definitely valued more here because it provides tangible improvement in one's quality of life. A belief many of my students in San Diego will probably never grasp.

This is the biggest Wat in Laos and their national symbol. If you want to know what its called, look it up your damn self; I'm on vacation.
My plane to Hanoi. Laos was a great country and I strongly reccomend it for the laid back traveler. The people are very nice, everything is extremely cheap, and I had heaps of fun.

Dear Nephew
You have far more guts than I do n I spent 20 yrs in that part of the world - only 2 questions "what the H are u eating" and "what has happened to yr digestive tract?". Last thing, from now on stay away from chicken for while - don't want any bird flu - dog/cat stew is even better than bird flu! You are an inspiration to all of us! Love B.
