Welcome back to the tour with fletcher and julie. Many new updates, places, people, and friends to talk about ! Let’s get to it…
Before we begin…please note that I am not fletcher or julie. I am their new guest blogger and I am happy to walk you through our adventure through LAOS. I joined the j and f tour with some friends on May 16th, when we arrived in Luang Prabang, Laos. A country full of life. The people are very kind and very hard working. Mountains surround you in every setting, and the aroma of grilled bananas and tuk tuk exhaust tickle your noise. This is a magical place that reminds you how precious life is even when we are all miles away from our own home.

Mornin with the Monks
Every morning at 5am monks take to the streets to receive food offerings from their community. Usually just a scoop of white rice. Boys of all ages walk in a single file line and receive food for the day.

In Vientiane, we decided to walk through a non profit organization called COPE. This was truly a touching experience. Cope is a rehabilitation center to help people/locals who have lost an arm or leg. The organization was started for children who have been injured from land mines that still remains from the Vietnam War.

It has been an amazing journey so far. We are currently in Cambodia and enjoying a new culture. I am so happy I got the chance to join these two during their trek around the world. We are truly blessed we get to experience these travels together. Stay tuned for Cambodia and thanks for letting me guest blog. I hope you still remain a fan!
Cheers!
