It's hard to believe....our trip is winding down very quickly. We can count the sleeps we have left in Laos on one hand. We then head to Thailand again to meet up with my parents and finish off the trip! We're excited to come home!
We don't have much to report. We spent the day on a bus again yesterday. We spent the night at a nice little guesthouse in a town called Ta Khek, and then boarded a bus again today and we are now in Savannahket. It's another quiet town....there are a lot of these in Laos. We plan to spend two nights here. They have a dinosaur museum which we're hoping to check out tomorrow.
In food news....I've discovered an amazing new fruit. His name is Brian. No, actually, we've just discovered "mangosteen". It's definitely a favourite. It's very hard to describe the taste....but it's amazing. I plan to eat some everyday until we come home.
It continues to be really hot here. So hot that we're wondering how hot noodle soup has become a staple food in this country, or this part of the world for that matter.
Anyway, to my mom and dad, have a safe trip and we'll see you soon! To everyone else, it's 2 weeks until we come home!

mmmm....mangosteen! My mom also enjoyed as much of that as possible while she was visiting us here. a little pricey for us to eat regularly though :) I hope Asia beckons you back soon!
Thanks for keeping up the blogs. I thought you may be interested in this article about a Khmer Rouge prison guard's trial. Make sure you scroll down to the photo -- it could be a picture of you, Erin.

Mangosteen! I love mangosteen...isn't it sooo good...I think it had the taste of rhubarb but way sweeter and better :D
Anyways I'm excited to hear about the rest of your trip...but I'm also excited for you guys to come home! only two weeks...that's crazy.
