Additional photos of Wat Keopa in Vientiane. I didn’t have much time to spend at the temple because aunt Kian was getting ready to catch a bus to Pakse. This temple is where the majority of the funeral in the area would take place.

very beautiful Wat. But sadly I could only enjoy photos of it… hopefully I can visit these Wats one day… and finally give my father a proper burial. His bones are in a vase at a small Wat somewhere in Laos… we had to leave him when we escaped the war.
by the way.. I want to send some books to the children.. how do I do that?
