Last day in Luang Prabang, Laos

First stop was the handicraft market. We learned about silk…..from worms to dyed silk thread. This same facility makes paper from tree bark.

Then it was a “long boat” ride on the Mekong. We stopped at a village that makes moonshine, a cave full of Buddhas that dates back to 1600, and a nice lunch on the boat.

The day ended with a meeting with a monk and a novice monk. Very interesting Q and A session. Then we got a blessing and listened to afternoon chants.the tea in the blue mug is made from silk worm dung! It tasted like Lipton tea!
