18 Hours in LP

Luang Prabang is gorgeous and it's obvious why it's the number one tourist destination in Laos.  Set on the Mekong River, there are opportunities for amazing sunsets and picturesque temples.

Our morning was spent visiting a wat and temple where World Education manages grant money to sustain restoration to the art and buildings.  We didn't stay long, but it was interesting to walk around the temple and meet the monks that have been taught wood carving and other skills through the grant.  

Although I would have wanted to stay longer, I wanted to get back to Vientiane for the weekend and know that I'll be back up in LP another time.  Certainly when Mom and Dad come to visit!
