Don't they refer to the Mekong as the mighty Mekong River? Well, if they don't, they should. The bed of the river is absolutely immense. Although you can't see it in the photo, there were spaces amongst the brush the size of soccer fields where groups were playing. They looked like mere dots from where I was standing.
Stretched along the banks of the river were outdoor restaurant after outdoor restaurant. And, although I had just eaten, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to sit down and enjoy another cold BeerLao while soaking up the atmosphere. I can't imagine a more appropriate way to have finished up my first day in Laos.
