"But Baby it's cold outside..."

It's not cold like it is in Toronto, but it is veryyyy chilly up in Luang Prabang and I dont know how I feel about it. The days never really get hot and there is a cool breeze and at night time the days

Yesterday we went to the beautiful Kuang Si Falls. The falls begin in shallow pools atop a steep hillside that lead to the main drop with a 50m cascade.

The water collects in numerous turquoise blue pools as it flows downstream which you are able to swim in. Because its so cold, we opted not to swim.

We also went to the Bear Rescue Centre in Luang Prabang. This place houses endangered Asiatic black bears which have been saved from poachers and traffickers. Also housed here is Phet, an Indo-Chinese tiger that was saved from a similar fate but we didn't get to see her.

As always, Cathy and I had no problem finding some nice red wine. We came across this fantastic wine bar that was throwing a private birthday party so it was packed with nice food, interesting people and great music. I am very grateful I have found a friend who enjoy's red wine as much as I do.
