Jan 27 - Left early for two days of hiking to some hill tribes. The guide and guide trainee did a great job leading the group of 6 through the woods. Our first stop was lunch. A great selection of Laos food laid out on a banana leaf. Next we headed to the first village Mon(sp?) people. Afterward we hiked farther to another village. Where we meet some kids who taught our trekking group how to play a bad mitten like game. You use your hands to hit a birdie. Which is made of feathers tied with woven leafs. Then you try and volley with the kids. After play time we headed to the top of a hill for the sunset. Some village kids came to meet us and help navigate the slick hill side. In the evening we rested with another good meal and some "Lao Lao" or homemade rice whiskey.
