Engineers on vacation!

We left Canada to see the world and explore culture and what do we end up doing, visiting a mine. As we were travelling through Laos an aquaintance that Patti met in University noticed that her status on Facebook indicated that we were travelling through Laos. Turns out the aquaintance; Douglas Caffel, works at a recently opened copper mine north of Vientiane. So off we went to visit PanAust's mine in Laos thanks to Doug. It was a great sidetrip in a great country. The mine arranged a ride from town to the mine's camp (5hr drive), meals and accomodations for one night and a tour of the operations. For those geeks interested in earth moving there is a photo album on our Picasa photo page.

Thanks Doug for the great tour.

You can get the geeks out of work but can you get the work out of the geeks?
