    Entering the waterfall... trying not to fall off!: by sglass, Views[126]
         		 Seriously, riding bare-back on these things was terrifying and we all thought we were going to fall off.: by sglass, Views[113]
         		 Elephants on parade! To the waterfall!: by sglass, Views[109]
         		 On our elephant! Sam (Joe's brother) in front and Sarah in the back! This is high up!: by sglass, Views[89]
         		 by sglass, Views[93]
     
    Joe is ready for our elephant ride!: by sglass, Views[104]
         		 Tad-Se Waterfall: by sglass, Views[88]
         		 Tad-Se Waterfall: by sglass, Views[125]
         		 Turquoise pools leading up to the Tad Se Waterfall: by sglass, Views[137]
         		 Super awkward and nervous about being so close to something so giant, but also super excited and wanting to get closer... I'm torn.: by sglass, Views[96]
     
    I realize I have never been this close to an elephant and get scared...: by sglass, Views[102]
         		 I make a new friend!: by sglass, Views[94]
         		 Love the guy just chilling on top of them: by sglass, Views[110]
         		 Cute!: by sglass, Views[117]
         		 At the Tad-Se Waterfall Park! Elephants! yay!: by sglass, Views[195]
     
    After we'd made it across the river: by sglass, Views[107]
         		 Sliding down the mud to the bank of another river to go across... Sam wiped out. Happens to the best of us: by sglass, Views[109]
         		 One of the least muddy stretches of our trek ;-): by sglass, Views[176]
         		 A rubber tree grove! Our guide explained how they tap and harvest the rubber from the trees (the process is just like maple syrup... which he had never heard of): by sglass, Views[402]
         		 This country is beautiful: by sglass, Views[124]
     
    Hiking through the fertile landscape of Laos: by sglass, Views[170]
         		 by sglass, Views[173]
         		 Hill tribe garden: by sglass, Views[147]
         		 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[163]
         		 Sam shows no fear!: by sglass, Views[155]
     
    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[1507]
         		 Sigh... even in the middle of the jungle in Laos we cannot escape technology. Satellite TV anyone?: by sglass, Views[197]
         		 Puppies!!!: by sglass, Views[375]
         		 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[2494]
     
    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[439]
         		 Different tribal houses in the village: by sglass, Views[228]
         		 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[172]
         		 The village's long boat! Only used once a year for a ceremony/race... It is their pride and joy.: by sglass, Views[134]
         		 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[127]
     
    Laos: by sglass, Views[123]
         		 Headed into 'backcountry' Laos across the river!: by sglass, Views[149]
         		 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[145]
         		 Pretty flower: by sglass, Views[141]
         		 On our full-day trek! Headed down to try to cross the flooded (and therefore very muddy) river: by sglass, Views[153]
     
    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[147]
         		 Gorgeous local silver shop where we bought some presents!: by sglass, Views[195]
         		 More of the night market, complete with lazy dog in the middle of it all.: by sglass, Views[110]
         		 Lots of food for sale.: by sglass, Views[133]
         		 Jerky anyone?: by sglass, Views[128]
     
    Chicken anyone?: by sglass, Views[109]
         		 Enjoying our buffet!: by sglass, Views[131]
         		 Buffet time! Pay for a plate and load it up with as much of whatever you want! Approximately $2.: by sglass, Views[172]
         		 Little food alley we found off of the main LP night market!: by sglass, Views[187]
         		 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[165]
