-Met my freinds from Washington for breakfast Crepes.
-Took a walk to Phosy (pronounced "pussy") looking for replacement shoes, mine are completely coming apart, no luck on the shoe front, but bought a carton of cigarettes for 20,000 kip (thats 25 cents a pack), and a massive bag of peanuts.
-Stopped on the way back at the Kaysone (the leader of the communists in Lao) Memorial, which had remarkable views of the Mekong.
-Beautiful sunset:
-Had dinner on the Mekong with Clayanne and Colin then went to Utopia where i met up with another freind from Cali and chilled there til sunset.

-woke up feeling like shit. Another damn cold.
-spent a while on the interwebs, drank some tea, ate some sudafed.
-went out to eat some soup, trying to feel better.
-felt a little better so down to the river, where these three crazy kids from Vermont were building a boat, Hounde, to sail down the Mekong, hung out with them on the river for a bit, then sat at the guest house with a lot of folks drinking beers and eating rice cakes and peanuts.
-Then to Utopia with the Hounde crew and Oren, where we met up with American girls, and two great french guys.
-When they gave us the boot at 11:30, went to a local bar that stayed open later, Yen Sabai, then to the bank of the river where the boys had a fire pit, so we built a fire and stayed up late with a whole lot of people drinking and talking shit, i went to bed at 4 AM and i think people were down there til almost 5. fun night.
