Hi all, we haven't added a blog in a bit.. the internet is soooooooo slow it is all very painful. We have a very fun day yesterday. We rented bikes and rode all over town.. It was way fun. So we have gone from traveling with seat belts and car seats to driving in tuktuks and now bikes. The bikes are great. They have a seat much like a motorcyle seat on the back where the kids sat while Paul and I provided the muscles. I had it easy with Kate an

d Paul hauled Mira around. There just weren't any rentals small enough for her to go on her own. We visited a weavers' guild and learned a great deal about dying and making fabrics here and spent some money on souvenirs. It was very informative.

Today we went off to the waterfalls and enjoyed a dip in the limestone water - the colour of turquoise. Very neat. We are off to Ventiane on Saturday by bus. I will try to post a photo or two before then.

bye for now sharon
