4/24/02 In Transit to Viang Viene, Laos (Kelly)
Today actually turned out to be a pretty funny day. I met some great people today!
First off we caught a 7:00 am bus from Vientiene and headed to Viang Viene. We were all packed in this bus like freakin' sardines...they added plastic chairs to the isles just to fit everyone in. I wound up sitting on a couple of rice bags next to Anne and Phill while Jeff and Geoff were standing on the stairs. For about 4 hours we journeyed through the countryside and mountains playing scrabble; I also read a bit. Once we arrived we all piled off the bus. Eve wound up sitting a lot closer to the front of the bus than the rest of us. She actually sat next to two other Dutch girls, Esther and Afke. Well our group has grown a little...from 4 to 6. Esther and Afke have to be the coolest girls I have met in a long time. Esther is 26 and we have completely hit it off...she acts like she is 12...we're perfect together.
