Seeing the Nam Song River in an Inner Tube

There isn’t anything spectacular to be found in this story unless you find spending a day floating in an inner tube down the Nam Song River in Laos fascinating. Which it turns out I do and the author Caroline found to be most enjoyable. Her short piece for the STA Traveler monthly newsletter is a delightful read if you ever plan on going anywhere near the area. Forget your soggy bottom and put your silly ideas of trying not to play tourist (or be recognized as one) aside. Along with the soothing chocolate colored waters of the river, Water Buffalo, mountains in the distance, lush landscape and the sound of crickets providing the mid-afternoon soundtrack it seems as though the once skeptical Caroline found more than a freezing cold tush. Could it be safe to say she found peace? I’d imagine it hard to believe she didn’t and at the very least I found it reading her piece.
