Enjoying sticky rice, Laos style! Unfortunately, Brian and I have been a little under the weather the past couple of days. We thought Montezuma has had enough revenge on this trip and were taken a bit by surprise when he struck again. Needless to say we've been laying low for the past couple days. We're feeling quite a bit better today!
Yesterday we spent the morning walking through the city. We are still amazed at how quite the city is. As Brian said, we love the slow pace!
The weather is quite hot here as well....hitting the high 20's or low 30's. We spent the afternoon by a pool yesterday. Although the pool has seen better days, it was a good way to spend a lazy afternoon.
To spice things up a little and to try and forget our rumbling stomachs, we decided to go bowling! It's been a while since either of us have strapped on funky bowling shoes or picked up a big black ball, but we had a really great time. Our scores weren't too bad either! The bowling alley has definitely seen better days too, but it just added to the experience.
As you may remember, a little while ago we posted pictures of a scavenger hunt we completed, at the request of our friends. Well, they sent us a second assignement and here are the results.
They sent us origami animals that we had to construct and then place in their "natural environments".
Brian felt quite challenged by this activity. We find it hard to believe that ages 3 and up could make these things, as the package said!
Giraffes, eating leaves off some trees.
Lions....it doesn't get more real than that!

Love the bowling shoes. Hope that you are both feeling better. I feel honoured to be the first one to comment on this blog. I beat Rachael and Jim. Three cheers for MOM. Dad wants to know if you broke "100".
Was that one bounce or two?
"Hey, Brian, remember that time in Laos when we went bowling and did origami? What a blast! I'm surprised that we even came back home!"
(P.S. There's a "Real Jim"?)
HOT shoes. bring some back for your bed-ridden cousin.
