During my first weekend in Laos, I was lucky enough to participate in an MCC retreat 7 hours South of Vientiane. We piled into a very narrow, very shallow boat, climbed some very steep stairs built against the side of a cliff and entered a cave filled with Buddha images. It was discovered by a fisherman several years ago, but most of the carvings are thought to come from the 1300s!
