Monks on Parade
Today I managed to get Betsy out of bed bright and early to see the monks receiving their alms from the locals. Every morning between 530am and 6am (except Sunday's it seems) the monks walk through the streets where the locals give them sticky rice for their bowls.
Today is also our last day in Luang Prabang. We were here for 6 days the longest we've been anywhere and honestly we were ready to leave a couple of days ago but we had to wait for our boat which isn't leaving until tomorrow. We haven't done as much sightseeing as we'd have liked in Luang Prabang as it has just been too hot! Accuweather.com currently shows the "realfeel" temperature in Luang Prabang to currently be 135F! Ouch!
We have a 2 day boat trip up the Mekong tomorrow morning and on Thursday night will cross the border into Thailand.

Thanks for the updates. Makes me jealous as i park my butt at my desk every day. We are thinking of taking the kids to Thailand so you will have to take note on which areas might be good for kids. Travel safe and talk soon.
