The House!

It took awhile to settle into the house, finding a few things to make it feel a bit more like a home.  Still trying to figure out how to hang art work and add those last finishing touches, but we can't wait to share this place with with visitors.  As promised here are some photos...


The house is across the street from a traditional sauna and massage


Large patio surrounded by beautiful plants and banana trees!



this one is just flowering and you can see the bananas under the petals as they start to roll back


The bottom floor is a large open area with the kitchen on the right side just behind Megan


The kitchen has an OVEN!! This is a rare find here in Laos.


The downstairs has high ceilings with beautiful exposed wood beams


Plus it came with the couches and an amazing dinning table, also rare in Laos


Upstairs has two bedrooms.  This is the guest room with its own balcony and brand new AC!


This is our room.  Both came with bed frames, mattresses and cool tables... Huge blessing!


There's a separate area off the side of our room with a vanity and closet.


Large private bathroom with heated shower. The second bathroom is downstairs near the kitchen


Probably the best part of the house is the upstairs deck!  We have some nice lounge chairs and a hammock.  It's a great place to eat breakfast, read a book, and watch the sunset.


We are so happy to have a home after many months of being homeless and so blessed to have a home like this here in Laos.  

Megan and I both feel adjusted and settled into life here in Luang Prabang.  Megan is actually in northern Laos right now with Pencils of Promise visiting some health specialists and seeing more of the country.  I went kayaking yesterday with Tiger Trail's office staff and several of our guides to do some training and have some fun with the team.  I posted several photos on the companies Facebook page.

We have internet at our house now, so make sure to keep in touch. Send us an email or let us know if you want to Skype.  We are 14 hours ahead of pacific standard time.
