ABC Weds. - C's



Crazy clouds 2 June 08. We were returning to Vientiane under a very active sky - it looked like a science fiction movie.



Craters on the Plane of Jars - a sad legacy from the Secret War in Laos.



Ceramic wood-fired mortars that I saw on the back of a tok-tok. This size is good for making Tam mak-heung, papaya salad made with pa daek (fermented fish sauce), tomatoes, lemon juice, and lots of chile peppers.



Cat under a farmhouse, protecting the freshly harvested garlic. Not quite sure who he's protecting it from - mice or humans. I love garlic.



Carousel ride at a fair by the Mekong waterfront.

Corn being spread out to dry before being sold for animal feed.

Your selection of "C's" I found very interesting. One of the great things about ABC Wednesday is that we get to visit distant places we'd otherwise never see.

Thank you for your comments on my blog too...yes, those canals are hidden away in one little section of town and it was a few years before I even knew they were there myself. I live about as far from that area as you can get and still be in LB. There are some Cambodian families here in my neighborhood too.
