Tomorrow, Friday, we head north to Luang Namtha and some trekking---or in my case "trekking"---and other Lao rural charm. We'll miss limpid Luang Prabang and will get back here at some point. The Internet situation in LN is uncertain, so blog readers may not hear from us for a while. Not sure about that.
We hear it's very cold in the U.S. Here in the Lao mountains it sometime drops into the fifties at night. So we know what it's like.

Hi Dick and Joe,
In Cambodia you might watch for some rare birds that have been reported recently (Hamp Gazette excerpts):
Researchers in the remote forests of Cambodia have discovered the only known colony in Southeast Asia of slender-billed vultures and scores of other endangered birds.
The colony was discovered last month in the jungles east of the Mekong River in Cambodia's Stung Treng Province: home to several other species listed as critically endangered including the white-rumped vulture, a red-headed vulture, giant ibis, and an endangered primate called a silvered langur, or leaf monkey.
We've been blog lurkers and enjoying the trip.
Watch out for those vultures!
