Laos New Year - Pii Mai

Our guesthouse

These flowers bloomed on the trees in front of our bungalow for the new year.

Playing petanque.

Kids carry squirt guns and buckets to shower unsuspecting passers by.

 

This monkey was asking for it.

Locals washing the sacred buddhas.

Fishing Trip

We hired a guide and went fishing for a day.

Our grubs for bait, and our catch.

Hangin' out in Laos

We spent about a week relaxing on Don Det, a small island in the Mekong River, near the border with Cambodia.

Aahhuummm, pumpkin burger!

Phnom Penh

 

We visited the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum, a highschool which was converted into a prison/torture camp during the Khmer Rouge era. Photos of the victims were displayed.  Spooky place.

ANYthing is available in Phnom Penh, including spider & bug snacks...

...and a real live Shouting Rage!

     

Siem Riep - some more food!

This man makes a mean papaya salad.

Three chilis, probably should have gone with less :)

 

Fried egg noodles and spinach patty.  One of our fav meals of the trip!

Ankor Wat - a few more pics

 

Ankor Wat - Exploration

Ankor Wat

Adam makes this look easy, but I used my hands when I climbed these stairs.

A New Fruit - orange and fleshy on the inside with seeds.  The skin had juice in it that was like elmers glue.
