Mekong Meeting

Mekong Meeting
We had just arrived in Luang Prabang and decided to take the ferry across the Mekong River. Shortly after, when we saw the ferry returning, we did a complete "double take" - just look at that car on the ferry!

It turned out that the car is a quite rare 1928 Graham-Paige, being driven around the world by a remarkable Argentinian family. At this stage they had been on the road for eleven years, with four children born on the way. They still are travelling, now confined by the CV19 in South America, and have been to every continent except Antarctica. When I took this they had published a book "Spark Your Dream" about their travels to help cover their expenses (it's still available online).

A very pleasant and surprising meeting and an enjoyable and memorable turn to our day. (See also PiPs).
