Had slight mishap so not much walking for remainder of trip. Am becoming familiar with that chunk of woods, still Tui and I were very lost. One long day's walk away from where we thought, very funny. Two villages, one name. Have many photos and lots to write, but working on health care reform right now.<br /><br />Muang Long has slipped back into obscurity. Fast road over in Luang Namtha and no mention in LP book.<br /><br />I'll have to start blogging.somsaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04909697873563962415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34802782.post-3539655095372390482009-08-04T10:54:09.054-07:002009-08-04T10:54:09.054-07:00Hey Somsai!

I try to be careful, but there are so many foods available!
