Daddy was over the moon when he found out that they had made us traditional Lao noodle with his favorite, all the goodness inside the pig, and I have the say that the soup was yummy in my tummy!
After the "breakfast" we headed off to the temple. The back of the temple had a majestic bamboo grove with large and mature plants. Many had religious graffiti on them.
The front of the temple complex had an alter for offerings, fountain, ornate buildings, a reclining buddha, and the inside was decked out like many of the temples in Thailand.
There were a few beds decorated with all kinds of colors and ornaments. Everyday necessities were laid out on them. I suppose these were offerings for those who have passed.
Outside on the temple grounds, there were tents, seating, and a center stage were "Miss Temple" pageant took place in the afternoon. At night, it really felt like we were sitting at a market place in Laos as you would see on Anthony Bourdain.We of course were there for the GRUMBS!
And Ella quite enjoyed herself with her new buddy, Kai Lan.
