Uneventful day, mostly.

Only excitement was a visit to a local textile studio and shop.

Lao Textiles is an outfit run by an artist named Carol Cassidy. She came to Laos years ago to run her own textile shop. She’s since become world famous. The shop pays living wages to its employees, and every single thing is hand woven here in Laos. Kind of a fair-trade type of thing.  Everything was so beautiful. Her husband gave me a tour of the weaving area, and I got to meet Carol herself. She’s interesting and passionate about weaving! Very neat experience.

The rest of the day involved me sitting, waiting in airports.

For dinner, I found the night market and had some kind of chicken leg and noodles dish. It was ok.

I’m thrilled to be in Thailand. I’ve been dreaming of this country for years. So far, the people seem courteous and the weather is delightful. 

Have a great Saturday!
