I'm in Laos! Erin and I arrived yesterday afternoon. I developed a mild case of food poisening because of something I ate at breakfast. So after throwing up twice at the China/Laos border we slowly crossed over and found the first place that had empty beds. While Erin ran some errands and ate dinner I took my first shower in three days and then went to bed around 6:30 and woke up at 7:45 this morning. We got on another bus for 8-9 hours as we travled through Laos to Luang Prabong. What a beautiful country! It's so lush and green! And the rolling hills are incredible! You'll have to wait to see pics when I get back to China! Sorry!
