SAPA, NORTHERN MOUNTAINS IN VIETNAM.

AFTER THE BAC HA MARKETS WE MISSIONED IT 2 HOURS IN A STACKED BUS TO THE MOUNTAIN TOWN IN THE NORTH OF VIETNAM, SAPA. THE FOLLOWING DAY WE MISSIONED ON A 14KM HIKE TO A MOUNTAIN VILLAGE. THE WALK WAS AMAZING. VERY RUGGED AND TUFF IN SOME SPOTS. IT WAS NICE TO BE IN THE MOUNTAINS AS THE HUMIDITY WAS NO WAY NEAR AS INTENSE. ALTHOUGH HAWLEY GOT BURNT TO A CRISP BECAUSE THE SUN WAS STILL EXTREMELY STRONG.
IT WAS CRZY THAT SCATTERED AONG THE MOUNTAINS WERE VERY VERY YOUNG CHILDREN. WITH NO PARENTS OR ANY TOWN FOR KILOMETERS IN SIGHT. THE WATER BUFFALO WERE AMAZING. IM STILL AMAZED THAT HAWLEY RODE ONE!!! IT WAS GRUNTING AT HIM SO GNARLY AS HE CLIMBED ABOARD!!!
WHEN WE ARRIVED IN THE VILLAGE THE FAMILY COOKED US AMAZING AMOUNTS OF FOOD. FORCE FED US AMAZING AMOUNTS OF RICE WINE! LITERALLY AFTER EVERY BITE OF FOOD WE WERE TOASTING... MUUUU--HIIIII---BAAAII--YOOOOO!!! THERE WAS A PARTY AT OUR TOUR GUIDES COUSINS HOUSE SO WE BOMBED IT THERE. ONE GERMAN GUY HAD STOMACH CRAMPS. TO RELIEVE THE PAIN IN THE VILLAGE THEY DO THIS PINCHING MASSAGE. IF U HAVE A SORE THROAT, STOMACH ACHE, SINUS, COLD THEY USE THIS OLD TRADITION PAIN RELIEF? HAWLEY HAD REALLY BAD HAY FEVER SO THEY TRIED TO CURE HIM, BUT IT JUST RESULTED IN A PURE LAUGH-DOWN.
THE LITTLE LADY IN BETWEEN JAMIE AND I WAS OPU TOUR GUIDE LAMB. SHE IS 24 YEARS OLD! ONE OF THE NICEST HUMANS I HAVE EVER MET. IF U EVER GO TO THE NORTH OF VIETNAM AND WANT THE BEST GUIDE EVER EMAIL ME AND I WILL GIVE YOU HER CONTACT!!!!!
