Monks in Orange...a long awaited update


What seemed to be just weeks turned out to be three months... glancing at the blog, I can see that the last posting was at last November, almost exactly 90 days ago. It seems that the ease of facebook has taken both Cindy's and my focus in that direction -- but we are painfully aware that not all of you have a facebook account! So are some photos (fairly) recently taken in Laos -- from the morning procession of monks in the World Heritage town of Luang Prabang -- which can aslo be seen in 3D images. Wonderful stuff!

Small handfuls of rice are given to each monk by each merit-seeker

Novice monks have their right arm left open, while first-years have it covered

Some confusion as Thai merit-seekers follow their tradition in offering a variety of food
-- instead of the usual handful of rice


It's mostly the older generations that still offer food for merit.
Luang Prabang is changing very, very quickly!

Later in the day, a young monk visiting the Luang Prabang waterfall

And to finish up, a photo of C&J on New Year's 2008, sent by a friend

We hope you all have an excellent year!
