Laos, Luang Prabang Morning Market

 

 

A detour back to our hotel after experiencing the giving of alms and we find ourselves walking the morning market of Luang Prabang. Unlike the morning market in Vang Vieng, here the market is spread out along the sidewalks of a few of the cities streets.

 

120In the early morning, from fresh pineapples, eggplants and ginger to mounds of hot peppers that I am sure would make you sweat like being in a Virginia tobacco barn, you can see and buy the taste and flavors of Laos.

 

 

You can even do some early morning clothes shopping if it suits your heart's desire. There are also fresh meat and fish vendors with some interesting selections in the offering. We buy some fresh small tomatoes then I sample some mini coconut pancakes, mushy but delicious.

Leaving the market is when we come across some unique items for sale.

 

123Pink eggs, that I assume are from “Happy Pink” chickens and a pair hooves that I am still not sure about.

 

 

 

 

 

 

122Certainly, they are not “Happy Feet”.
