laos
Laos was about rivers. First a slow boat ride down the Mekong from northern Thailand to Luang Pranbang. Then there was rope swinging over waterfall pools and canoeing to caves filled with Buddhas. Then there was tubing from riverside bar to riverside bar near Vang Vieng (before it became restricted due to so many backpacker deaths.) I don’t think I appreciated it enough at the time, but now the memories the matter the most are the ones of being with the flow of water.
