Up early and breakfast at the hotel. We walked around the whole peninsula that is the city of Leang Prabang. It is only 3 streets wide. On wide side is the Makong River on the other side of the town 3 streets over is the Kahn River. The city sits between them. We went to one of the many Wats (Buddhist Temple) and our guide explained Buddhist principals to us. He used to be a monk and is very articulate.
We then went to a textile demonstration of dying and weaving. The textile studio overlooks the Mekong River and has a spectacular view. Big Lao Lunch and then walked all over the city shopping. We finally rode a Tuk-Tuk (the little 3 wheeled vehicles used for transportation. Anywhere in the city costs $1.00 each.
Went to a Gallery Presentation and then walked through the night market and back. Another Lao dinner and back to the hotel.
Tomorrow a boat ride up the Mekong River.
