A word about the OK Condom pic below...

Not only is the name funny, but the USAID emblem is present too.

Vang Vieng, Laos

The good news: The above pics are merely from my guesthouse. It is BEAUTIFUL here. Just amazing. And there are a million fun activities to engage in like kayaking through caves.

The bad news: I've been sick with a 102 fever. I'm getting better. I don't think I have a fever today...but I can't tell because we aren't able to find a properly working thermometer. However I feel a lot better and rather energized after a rather ill 2.5 days. I think I had/have the flu, but it also seemed to attack my chest and then later my sinuses. Mostly, my issues have been temp. related. Anyways, let's hope I keep up the pace of getting better. I need to enjoy this place while I'm here! Plus, I don't want to have to find out about the Laos medical system.

slow on the update

i apologize to anyone who has looked at the slow progress of pics, etc. on my blog. my internet resources have been much more limited and slower than my travels.
tonight chris and i head up to Laos for a couple of weeks before continuing on to Vietnam. That's it for now.

Angkor 3

Angkor Archeological Park, part 2 already out of order

Angkor Wat: Bantey Samre

Needless to say, Angkor Archeological Park is tremendous. My internet connection is too slow in Cambodia to upload many pictures, but I'll try to get up some. We spent three days exploring different temples of the Archeological park. Some temples are clustered together and others take some extra bucks to get to. Three days in the park cost $40 per person, transportation not included. For the closest and most clustered together temples a bicycle will do. For other temples, tuk-tuk is required and our most expensive day was a $25 tuk-tuk ride. But oh, was it worth it.

Images from Bangkok

Some of the Best and the Worst of Phuket, Thailand

Beautiful island, lots of beaches, and lots of...sex/drug tourism. Wasn't a huge fan, but we stayed in Phuket Town which is a much chiller location than most of the beaches. To explain, we didn't stay on a beach, but we could travel to them easily. We only visited the beaches once and then moved on towards Bangkok.
