Laos ( First Half)

We were in Laos for a day and a half, Laos has been my absolute favourite so far, it has been incredible. I got to wet random people with water guns for fun and not have them yell at me for wetting them. I was allowed to do that because in Laos their “Water Festival” was going on and it when people get buckets, hoses, waterguns and wet every person they can see. There was red water, green water, pink water and by the end of the day ….we were soaked! And when I mean soaked ….I mean wet for 7 hours straight.















<--This was me at the beginning of the day....and this was me at the end of the day. -->

Me, Mr.Rainey and Mr.Brian got so into the festival, we got loaded guns and we shot everyone and we shot eachother.
The Pak Ou caves was this cave, that has every damaged Buddha in Laos, but to get there we had to take a taxi, and on the way there, we ran into a fallen tree. So we all got out and started moving this tree and this random guy came with his machete and started hacking up this tree and in 5 minutes he cut down the entire thing so we could move it. Brian another team member , wanted to try cutting it down and lets just say….he wasn’t as good as the Lao man. We had to wash a Buddha at the caves, after taking a short boat ride to the mountain it was on.













Then on our way back to the island, we got caught. This little 3 year old boy as cute as ever looking all sad asked us to pay for this little bird. And after we looked at him for 5 minutes, we couldnt resist.
