elephants and waterfalls...a little sick






Blah..feeling sick.... i had a fever last ngiht and still feel dazed. i think its because i havn't been getting enough sleep because its so hot! We don't have air con either . I guess thats what you get for 3 dollars a ngiht! Julie is taking care of me since she has a pharmacy in her pack with plenty of tylenol!
Yesterday we rode elephants and i'm not to sure how i felt about it. They were very sweet and there were only 2 other people with us so that was nice, i felt a little bit less like a tourist. We sat up on little benches on top of the elephant (who's Loatian name i cannot remember!)I suppose it was a good experience i just felt kind of sad for the elephants... They're so huge and really calm which i liked.
LAter in the afternoon we went to see a waterfall and went swming to cool off. Last night we bardered at the night market for some souvenirs. I think we will be getting ready to leave Luang Probang soon.
Not too much else to say at the moment because my head is a little fuzzy!
talk to you soon

Hi Linds, Mom and I just read three of your brogs....we were having a good laugh at the "roadside stop." The pictures looks awesome....and that one of the bus...man it looks dilapitated and crowded. haha

Mom and Tos are going to Toronto tomorrow to see Dustin's work in the grad show. I want to go but I am working. I told mom to take pictures.

That bar with the swings seems so cool. I think that I might have been a chicken like Julie...and not swang as much as you. Do you drop off into the water?

Seeing all your pictures makes me want to take a trip over there sometime. Enjoying reading your blogs. Glad that you are staying safe.
