Just didn’t have a lot of energy. So I rode the bus to the Tropical Spice Gardens. It was shady and delightful. The guided tour taught me some stuff, you know I love educational stuff. 

The rest of the day I rested, and planned the next step of my trip: Laos. Stephanie asked if I was going, but I hadn’t planned on it until then. I probably won’t get back this way for awhile, so….why not. 

The Wikipedia article alone is enough to intrigue me. It’s a poor country that’s struggling right now. Corruption is rampant,  and it’s a one-party socialist government. No real political freedom exists. The US bombed the ever-living shit out of it in the 60s and 70s, so the landmine problem is terrible. 

Sounds great!!!

I look forward to seeing what it’s like.

Ill take an overnight flight tomorrow and be there on Wednesday.
