Plain of Jars

Evangeline has been introduced to the world of backpacking through a trip to Phonsavanh and the The Plain of Jars.  We stayed in a guesthouse with a "very hard bed" and traveled by bus for 8 hours.  The Jars are amazing and mysterious.  The origin, the purpose and the civilization behind these enigmatic megolothic jars is largely unknown, but Australian archeologists are researching where these people came from as shown in this ABC clip.
