MORE PHOTOS FROM LAOS




Thought I would post a few more pictures from our trip to Laos. I always love discovering small details in a photo that I didn't notice when I was taking it. A good example is the boy's shirt in the bottom photo. It reads US Army and has a picture of military planes dropping bombs on two teddy bears. From 1964-1973 the US dropped over 2 million tones of bombs on Laos. Since the bombing ended, over 5700 Laotians have been killed by unexploded bombs, and about as many have been seriously injured. Laos is still in the process of locating all of the bombs and disarming them. That shirt says it all.
