So, um. We're back in Kunming. I kinda wish that I would have pushed to have conference a little closer to this area as we had to do a major back track to get back to where we just were. Oh well. Kunming is a pretty cool city to kick it for a while.
What did we do? Not a whole hell of a lot. We arranged out flight out to Laos - Vientiane. and then hung out at the Prague Cafe to suck down some of their delectable BLT sandwiches. Don't underestimate the power of a good sandwich.
On Valentine's Day we decided to make it a cafe Valentine's Day and went to the French Cafe, the City Cafe and the Prague Cafe and gobbled down our favorite treats from all of these places. At the French Cafe they even had special strawberry tarts in the shape of a heart, served complete with two forks and a rose. Awwwww!
We also made it out to the Provincial Museum and (dum-da-da-dum!!! - the sound of triumphant trumpets) it was open. One of the first provincial museums we have visited to be so. Last year, the museum was closed for renovations when we tried to go. We got there about 20 minutes or so before it was to close. Did that stop us? NO! We cruised that museum like a [insert clever simile here]. The museum was really nice looking and modern. They did a great job updating the look and feel of the place as a lot of Chinese museums suffer from 'book on the wall' syndrome.
One of the disappointments in Kunming was that we were unable to locate Wei's pizza and not from the lack of trying. Looked up and down both sides of the street and down the alleys too. Remember that happy picture of Matt with a gigantic pizza. Well, never again will we be able to see that face. Because as far as I can tell it is gone. Sigh, sniffle, sniffle.
Other than that we didn't really do too much. We went for a couple more BLT sandwiches - we got a breakfast BLT and then got s couple more to go to eat for lunch on the plane.
So, next, Laos! I can't wait!
