#16 more Mekong river people

Halloh. Okay, I think its working. The Mekong is the tenth longest river in the world. It lows more than 4,000 km from China to the sea in Vietnam. As we cruised, there would be long intervals of no obvious civilation. Then a single house in the jungle above the high water mark. Then, a small village. These first two images are Lao women bathing. They are very modest. They keep covered as the bathe and wash heir long hair.

The boat made a special stop to let these children come aboard to sell chips, soda, water, and Lao beer. As all that stuff was available already, they didn't do well.
The boat made several stops to take on cargo, and sometimes let someone off. The arrival always drew a crowd. I'm going to try something diferent.
