It has been a very lazy day today as neither of us felt on top of things today. The morning we spent catching up on emails, posting reviews on Trip Advisor, doing laundry etc. lunch was at Art Cafe which was recommended but we did not think it was really noteworthy. We had a foot and shoulder massage and then browsed in the shops. We were disappointed in the lack of knowledge of several different sales people when we asked about the tribal jewelry. We thought they should be able to tell us at least from which tribe. Maybe the more sophisticated sales people are working later in the afternoon and evening when there are more potential customers about. We had fresh tarts and tea at a cute cafe which was fun as they also had excellent coffee table books on Lao that you could browse.
In the late afternoon we walked across the historic temple district and looked in several temples (wat hopping) and read the appropriate descriptions in the guide book. I tried to book a back loom weaving class (portable loom) but it did not work out; however we had agreed to meet Mon, from the Katu tribe which uses the back loom at the Center tomorrow morning. Dinner was at the Blue Lagoon which was again excellent.
