Tubing!

Buckets!

Merry Christmas from Vang Vieng, Laos!  It is definitely not a white Christmas for me so instead I will enjoy the hot weather and going tubing with friends. Vang Vieng is home of the infamous tubing down the river while drinking buckets at the many bars that line the river.  Have already been tubing once and definitely don’t remember the whole trip.  Not really the safest thing to do but it was lots of fun. There was a large group of us and even though we split up in to smaller groups as the day went on, no one was left behind and we all made it back safe and sound.  Tubing and drinking really do take it out of you so have spent the day lounging in my hammock and watching Family guy at one of the many restaurants that play Family Guy or Friends all day and night. Other  than tubing we have explored some caves, tubed in the dark in a cave, and have been to some swimming holes. Vang Vieng has a lot of activities to do so it has been fun hanging out here and will be fun tubing on Christmas day. Tonight is Christmas Eve and we are having a group dinner with about 15 of us. Should be delicious as our lovely Thai friend Oh is making Thai/Lao food all from scratch.  I do hope that all of you have a wonderful Christmas and happy holidays. Enjoy it with friends and family and know that I will be thinking of you from the other side of the world. Love to all xoxo
