New Year in Luang Prabang week 5-6

Luang Prabang was heartstealing. We met beautiful people, sat and read and thought and talked and drank wine, most nights with a lovely and inspiring woman named Carry.
In the nearby temple I met a enchanting young novice monk of 18 who taught me as much as i taught him about what we think life is. He will soon leave the temple to live as a 'common man' . I wish him all the best on his journey!
