War Wounds

Vang Vieng is cluttered with backpackers and adventure water sports for pussies. Tubing is considered an extreme river trip.

We biked around Hmong villages today and both K.and I received limp-worthy injuries from spills on muddy roads.








I'd been meaning to shave that leg anyway.





Well dressed laceration








Bolts holding Kevin's bones together from his last accident try to see sunlight after he nearly went head over heels over Honda into a river on a long, unforgiving footbridge overnot a raging one, but one that was mildy irked about something.

Vang Vieng is nice enough.Unlike Cambodia, I have yet to see a beggar with a prosthetic limb hobbling around the streets.

Luangprabang is north of here. Another 6 -7hours on mountain roads. Remote. It's where we're
going tomorrow.

Am not lying. This is my word v: kikqh. As in swift et cetera.

They're a peaceful people, hm, those Vang Viengese? What the hell are you two up to?

If you stay there long enough and use enough Ben Franklins for trading purposes, Vang Vieng will have its hobbling beggar soon enough.

I AM very happy to see the photos start popping up. What's a vacation without them?

I'm very excited to have you ruin all the secret remotitude by telling all details. I'm so sorry I keep forgetting to comment, but really and truly our power keeps vanishing and blogs come in second to work.

Photos and more anti-Travel Chanel tales to tell will fellow. The Hmong are among the bestest people. On one end of the sociability spectrum you have Parisian French. on the other, you gots your Hmong.
