Nothing special today, we headed to a meditation cave a few hours away from our hotel. The cave was impressive with the number of Buddhas that were there, somewhere around 8000, but other than that, meh. What I really liked though was driving through the countryside. I’m not sure how to describe it except to say that the people we went past looked like they could have been doing the same thing hundreds of years ago. There were groups of farmers tilling the soil by hand, men were plowing behind cattle, there were farmers weeding by hand, children were playing in the canals along the road, water buffalos were being ridden by children, and the now common sight of women washing clothes in the river,  I felt that I had stepped back into history.

I’m off to dinner in about 10 minutes and it looks like I won’t have access to internet again. So it will be a while until I get a chance to update my blog.
