I like the friendliness that is in all your attitude, in every word. Warm.<br /><br />I am particulary happy you gave such favourable credit to Berenice. She is a very special, very gifted young lady, and Amantaka must be very glad to have her working there. They have a good team now, and Berenice is leading her staff in a wonderful way.<br /><br />I also liked VERY MUCH the previous blog on Hockney and Zorn. Great and informative choice if images.<br /><br />Thank you, Hans<br /><br />DIANEDiane Dorrans Saekshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02259292681678952448[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543457325368639597.post-14028388680174207312013-12-17T08:57:51.543-08:002013-12-17T08:57:51.543-08:00HELLO--<br /><br />I&#39;ve had such warm and enthusiastic responses to my LAOS post...<br /><br />My dear friend, the great decorative artist in San Francisco, sent the following message--<br /><br />Dear Diane--<br /><br />Lovely ...I felt it all... and your photos are beautiful!

I took my children on a quest through Asia for close to 10 years in a row. One of the first country we visited was Laos, spent time in Ventiane, rural areas and Luang Prabang. It was love at first sight. My children interacted with the few monks who spoke french or english, we would rise early every morning for the offerings. We stayed in the town, in the hotel that was run by the last surviving princess of Laos, the entire royal family having been killed. You wrote a beautiful tribute for a beautiful country indeed. I long to return.Francine Gardnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02042631088215474109[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543457325368639597.post-36177939964237721642013-12-16T12:36:25.610-08:002013-12-16T12:36:25.610-08:00HI DANIEL-<br /><br /><br />Lovely to hear from you.<br />Luang Prabang was a marvelous discovery.<br />It&#39;s the kind of place you visit for the first time--and want to stay there to live and work on charity projects for local children.<br />Laos is emerging--I hope you go there soon.<br />best DIANEDiane Dorrans Saekshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02259292681678952448[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543457325368639597.post-18086690620126066992013-12-16T12:25:24.581-08:002013-12-16T12:25:24.581-08:00I LOVE the photography Diane, and this is a very inspiring piece on a very mystical place.

It&#39;s this &#39;private access&#39; and &#39;local specialists&#39; that Aman does well…I loved the river cruise, just me and the driver and steward…no distractions. Silent. Moving up the river to who know&#39;s where.<br />I liked the quiet approach at Amantaka. I looked at some of the pensions along the river…and you are right that the location and the river are compelling.<br />The town is so lovely…and not at all what I expected…you cannot know in advance. best DIANE<br />You will like next week&#39;s post of exclusive images.<br />so happy to hear from you DIANEDiane Dorrans Saekshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02259292681678952448[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543457325368639597.post-44784909561614432472013-12-16T11:20:53.720-08:002013-12-16T11:20:53.720-08:00I loved this post Diane!! After my trip to Cambodia this March I also made a side trip to Luang Prabang and as you say it really is one of the last undiscovered towns. Who knew there was so much to see and the ambience there was one I adored. I stayed at Xienthong Palace which was at the confluence of the rivers and while the Aman group is lovely I very much enjoyed the location by the river. I look forward to more pictures.
