Homestays and Textiles

Southern Swing Leg 1 Pakse to Tad Lo.

And, we're off.   
Kids often ran up to the side of the road yelling "Sa bai dee" = hello!
Homestays were common- basic options where a family opens up their home for travelers passing through.  We didn't choose this mostly because we were 5 people however we stopped at this particular one that also advertised textiles
Brent was constantly on the hunt for nice textiles to buy for his family.  We came across some beautiful scarves, sarongs and other hand woven items throughout the trip. 
Drying peanuts.
Tad (=waterfall in Lao) Fang at dusk, seen from the property of our hotel- Saise Guesthouse ($8/night).  This was the first of many beautiful waterfalls we would see along our route.
