"Feeding the Monks"

Location: Luang Prabang, Lao
Date: April 9, 2010

My last day in LPB, I woke up at 6am to "feed the monks." Basically, you buy food- sticky rice or any staple food, and you put it into the monks' canisters as they walk by. The only eat what is given by donation, so many locals wake up every morning to give their offering. Many tourists also wake early to watch the parade, but I tried to do mostly feeding and a little bit of picture-taking...here is a look at the monks coming and going...
