A lovely day in and around Luang Prabang...

After a few weeks of travel i finally broke down and headed for the western-style cafe complete with air conditioning and a white chocolate ice coffee!


We headed across the Mekong to watch the boat races and made some new friends:

My favorite photo so far... click to enlarge:


The competitive boat racing on the Mekong.  The following evening are the ceremonial boats on the river...


Teens watching the racing...


Heading back to town...



This woman is preparing floating marigold boats for the full moon festival.  Each person buys a flower boat, says a prayer and floats it on the river at the full moon... more on that in the next post!
