A little bit of food…

One major part of our trip has been eating. While in Luang Prabang I have taken some pictures of what we are eating. Unfortunately we found a bakery with the most amazing bread, so some of it is Western Food. (Stephanie P. I tried to set up food scenes like you do…. yours are better. Everyone go to Hostess in Rain boots and look at her blog!)
Breakfast     
 


Rice Pork Soup- We eat this a lot. The soup contains broth, rice, pig bones (though we are never sure which ones, Mack thought that this particular batch was pig knee), pig blood, and though there was none in this bowl sometimes we get sausage meatballs.
Little doughnut things with sweetened condensed milk inside. We buy them at the morning market.
Green Tea grown in Luang Prabang
Morning Market
This is where all of the people in town (restaurants included) get meat, veggies, and food for the day. This is a picture of what the meat section looks like. All of the meat is kept out in the open, This vendor used cardboard to keep her meat off of the table. The flies are in HEAVEN as you can see.

Lunch
This is the time of the day where we have been hitting up the bakery JOMA
I ordered this Reuben and I loved it! THICK slices of corned beef, and a little extra garlic somewhere, maybe hidden in the 1000 island dressing. I was pleasantly surprised. Day 2 I ordered a Tuna sandwich, SO Yummy! Mack ordered a BLT on day and chili in a bread bowl day 2.
     

after lunch…pit stop for a beer Lao, to admire the crops and watch young monks play In the river. A person can choose to be a monk at any time, these boys looked to be between the ages of 6 at 12.

 
 
Dinner
After our Beer Loas, Mack and I rode his red rider, and my pink furry down the river. We were so inspired by the young monks we jumped in! For dinner we went 2 places..
The first was a restaurant on the Mekong to watch the sunset and play cards.

here is what mack saw…

we only had spring rolls here, and I forgot to take a pic, but after that we went and had Indian food. This is the closest to India we have ever been, so we were excited because we thought the food would probably taste better than at home. It DID!
