Ya Dinos!


We'll we went to the largest dinosaur museum in Southeast Asia this morning...and it was, well, pretty much what we expected. OK, it was what I expected, Erin sort of thought that the building was going to have to have 20 ft. ceilings to be able to contain the complete t-rex skeletons that she pictured.
There were no tall ceiling and no complete dinos. But they did have around a dozen really large bones that have come from the 5 dig sites throughout Laos. They also had some neat fossils and some other assorted small bones. It was just one small room. We spent about 15 mins there, and had a good laugh. At least it was only about $0.60 each....it was worth it just to escape the heat and be in an air-con building.

this was pretty much it. I loved the big dino made out of rope lights...even though most were burned out.


Tomorrow were heading south again to Pakse. It's an area called the Bolivan Plateau. It's the main coffee growing area in Laos...so it's worth checking out.

The burnt out rope dino is really funny. I didn't know they found dinos in Asia...well parts of them.

I'm sure you'll both enjoy the coffee area.
