This small falls
exists just before a massive falls.
It's a short hike through very nice
jungle to this falls. |
Cute Lao girls are
very affectionate toward each other.
Kimberley was able to get many difficult
shots. She had an easy time making
new friends. |
Most of the children
still wear homemade clothing.
|
... worth a thousand
words? |
Our truck driver's
boy was not camera shy. |
No matter which
village we visit, the children always
come down to greet us. |
Local news interviewed
us before we launched. No one had
ever done what we were doing.
They wanted to know why.

One of the two falls
wee visited on the Xenamnoy. We
can't wait to see it with more water!
|
The other falls
of the Xenamnoy we visited.
It was so pretty that we decided
to spend the whole day just swimming
and relaxing under its messaging
power. |
Paul jumped at the
opportunity to stoke the knife-maker's
coals. Paul is working the hand
billows... but not for long... too
tiring. |
Children gathered
at the village headman's house to
watch us. We were quite an
attraction. They'd never seen
foreigners before. |
We had to scout
a couple rapids. It would be much
easier at higher water. |
The privilege of seeing one
of the most remarkable countries in
the world can be yours. PaddleAsia
is the only company that offers paddling
trips to remote villages and rivers
in the heart of Laos! |

photos are from southern Laos. They were
all taken by Ms. Kimberley McGrandle, a Canadian
woman who works as a school teacher in Hong Kong.
