    Hiking through the remote hills where villagers grow their food... mountain rice (as opposed to valley/wet rice), bananas, yams, and all other sorts of fruits and veggies: by sglass, Views[185]
         		 Sam shows no fear!: by sglass, Views[162]
         		 A
         		 The Hmong shaman's house. Our guide pointed it out after I asked about him but told us to be wary of taking any pictures of any villagers (it upsets their spiritual beliefs): by sglass, Views[1521]
         		 Sigh... even in the middle of the jungle in Laos we cannot escape technology. Satellite TV anyone?: by sglass, Views[209]
     
    Puppies!!!: by sglass, Views[385]
         		 A traditional Hmong house- no stilts and no windows. Religious beliefs differ from tribe to tribe, but many of the Hmong worship spirits (phi) and believe that having windows will enable bad spirits to get into their houses.: by sglass, Views[2599]
         		 Look at these cuties! I probably shouldn't have taken a picture... some of the hill tribe people are very against having their pictures taken... but I couldn't resist and they did not seem to mind. Only took 1, just in case.: by sglass, Views[476]
         		 Different tribal houses in the village: by sglass, Views[246]
         		 Another type of hill tribe house-- this one is up on stilts (not 2 stories like the earlier one) and a little more similar to the Hmong houses (coming up...): by sglass, Views[180]
     
    The village's long boat! Only used once a year for a ceremony/race... It is their pride and joy.: by sglass, Views[146]
         		 We hike up to a hill tribe village that is actually 3 tribes living together in one joint village... our guide explained you could tell this by their unique styles of architecture. For example this 2-story house with windows is very different from the houses we saw nearby...: by sglass, Views[157]
         		 Laos: by sglass, Views[130]
         		 Headed into 'backcountry' Laos across the river!: by sglass, Views[155]
         		 Our transport across the river-- could only fit a few people at a time so it took us quite a while to get everyone across!: by sglass, Views[151]
     
    Pretty flower: by sglass, Views[145]
         		 On our full-day trek! Headed down to try to cross the flooded (and therefore very muddy) river: by sglass, Views[172]
         		 Enjoying our Beer Lao at one of the fancier cafes on one of LP's main street. The mix of old and new here is perfectly balanced!: by sglass, Views[160]
         		 Gorgeous local silver shop where we bought some presents!: by sglass, Views[203]
         		 More of the night market, complete with lazy dog in the middle of it all.: by sglass, Views[120]
     
    Lots of food for sale.: by sglass, Views[138]
         		 Jerky anyone?: by sglass, Views[137]
         		 Chicken anyone?: by sglass, Views[114]
         		 Enjoying our buffet!: by sglass, Views[138]
         		 Buffet time! Pay for a plate and load it up with as much of whatever you want! Approximately $2.: by sglass, Views[178]
     
    Little food alley we found off of the main LP night market!: by sglass, Views[196]
         		 There's even a paved cement walkway for the tourists to stay on as they walk a loop through the village. 10 minutes and we're back in the van. :-/ Not our favorite: by sglass, Views[175]
         		 We stop at our first 'traditional' hill tribe village. Except this was on the main road and did not seem very traditional at all.: by sglass, Views[162]
         		 Rice paddies in fertile Laos: by sglass, Views[144]
         		 Cascading rice paddies! I've always wanted to see these!: by sglass, Views[204]
     
    Driving home. Turkeys get in the way and force us to stop for a minute.: by sglass, Views[179]
         		 Last picture before I stash my camera safely out of harm's way and wade out there with Joe! We climbed up on the rail and leaned out over the edge... staring straight down as thousands of gallons of water rush over... so cool!: by sglass, Views[177]
         		 Found it! Took us some time and a lot of wading but we make it to the point where the waterfall flows over the edge of the cliff. Joe goes out to investigate: by sglass, Views[152]
         		 Lost in the Laos jungle trying to find the top of the Kuang Si Waterfall: by sglass, Views[149]
         		 Put the camera away for the muddy scramble up the cliff to try to get to the top of the waterfall... we are now on top of the mountain, but can't find the waterfall!?: by sglass, Views[134]

    Kuang Si Waterfall: by sglass, Views[135]
         		 Reaching the Kuang Si Waterfall... well-placed bridge to get a good view: by sglass, Views[154]
         		 Perfect place for a water wheel: by sglass, Views[146]
         		 Getting splashed/sprayed but still smiling!: by sglass, Views[154]
         		 This whole thing was like a hundred mini-waterfalls all leading up to one giant waterfall!: by sglass, Views[137]
