Eating Leaves Can Be Delicious!

Today was a relaxing and very laid back day around Vang Vieng. After some coffee and reading we decided it was too overcast to go tubing, as we originally planned. We headed off to breakfast at the Organic Farm Cafe. I enjoyed some delicious mulberry leaf pancakes and a mulberry shake. Yum!! Mulberry leaves are fed to silk worms and if they are good enough for the silk worms they are good enough for me. After such a delicious breakfast we decided to rent bikes and travel out to the farm where they were the leaves were grown. We wandered around until we found baby goats, pigs, and had a snack of fried mulberry leaves. They tasted about the same as anything fried might taste. From the farm we went to one of the caves around Vang Vieng. There are a lots of caves in this area and man are they huge. I can now understand how whole villages would live in these caves during the Vietnamese-American war. There were some beautiful formations in the cave and it was a nice reprieve from the warm weather outside.
