| This page documents some of the terrain and the dwellings I saw from the bus while traveling from city to city | |

Vientiane to Vang Vieng |
|

At first a lightly wooded terrain, modest amounts of agriculture |

An hour or two north of Vientiane, we got into the hill country we'd be in until Luang Prabang |

Luang Prabang to Phonsavan |
|
|
Much of the trip was in high hill country, with narrow strips of villages along the highway |
|
|
|
|
But as we approached Phonsavan we broke into more open country
Quite similar to the transitional landscape on the eastern slopes of the Cascade Mountains in Oregon and Washington |

The land of pines |
