Cliff and I have traveled from Vientiane to Luang Prabang in north central Laos. Designated a World Heritage Site in 1995, this town has some of the most well preserved architectural, religious, and cultural locales that have been developed over several centuries. No trip to this area would be complete without visiting the neighboring Hmong village where we're headed today.
A Trip Down the Mekong River...
As a young man, I can still remember sitting in the auditorium of my medical school listening to the Dean calling out our draft numbers for the war effort in Vietnam based on our birthdays. Mine was 315-whew!!! Little did I know at the time that I would develop a fascination with South East Asia.
