Vientiane Times

Laos has been chill. The scenery, temples, rivers, activities - definitely a beautiful place, with some beautfull humans. The last few days, we've been going out to a rooftop bar every night to watch some football (Lets go MANU!), play some pool (Dill's a closet shark and Ryan's been creeping in the shadows - I think he's the hustler..just a reaaallly slow one - he'll probably be murdering at the end of the trip...you read it here first), and enjoy some Beer Laos with some of the local/foreigner mix of fellas and fellitas. Bars close down a little early, but there's a classy club that's open late so we checked it out one night and cut a rug (y'know. can't stop. won't stop. uhuh, uhuh). Was a fun night anyways, even got to groove to some Lao jams.
In the day, nothing like kicking it by the river on a hot day, laying on pads, big umbrellas if needed, 7ups in big buckets of ice for 30 cents each, and a cozy little novel. Splendid.

sounds like the trip is humming along, and you boys are staying true to low budget and good adventurous fun. Glad Laos opened up showed you a good time.
We walked up the local active volcano yesterday and watched rivers of lava flow; standing on the hardened lava and within feet of molten rock is pretty wild. Just don't fall. Gads, people were toasting marshmellows; gringos!
