Ian and Angela

Adventures in Laos

On Saturday we went to Buddha Park,

about 25 km out of Vientiane.

Here is Angela stepping out of the mouth of

a giant monster.

They also visited That Luang,

or the Golden Stupa,

which is a Lao national symbol.

The Golden Stupa is home to

a piece of the breastbone of the Buddha.

Can you see them?

They are really small.

As it turns out, "Ian" in Lao
means
"eel."
Thus, a picture of a basket of eels
makes in on to our blog.


We also attended a

Lao Baci Ceremony

where people tie stings on to each others

wrists as a symbol of connected-ness

or community.

Ian bought Angela some flowers

which she arranged

and we all enjoyed.
