Snapshots of Laos
Well, for now, as my brain is a bit fuzzy from lack of sleep and hours spent in boats and the back of a truck, indulge me in just a few snapshots in prose until tomorrow when I'll take some time and actually post some pics and tell some stories. But for now, some indelible images i was unable to photograph:
kids this morning in a rural village throwing roosters at each other
wrinkled old man, all bones, on the side of the side of the road, leaning on a stick. a former monk, the pali sutras tatooed all over his body rise and fall over his convoluted skin.
thatched roof over a billiards table in a tiny hill village.
ten-year-old girl, impervious to bargaining, managing our guesthouse while her mom is out all night.
crowds spellbound by petanque in the dusky twilight on the banks of the mekong.
lastly, this sign, written by someone with either an immensely profound sense of irony if not by someone with none at all.
more tomorrow after some good Lao coffee.
