Sapa Style

Good Moooooooorning Vietnam!!!!!

Sorry you know I had to do that for comic relief :) There are a ton of t-shirts for sale that say that too. My photos did not upload to my last post but here they are today. The one with a river in the background is with China in the background at the border! I have so many pics from the Sapa markets with all the women dressed so colorful and beautifully so wish I could upload them but will have to wait until facebook is opened up for me.

I woke up to (as anticipated) being in complete fog in Sapa. There's definitely a beauty in it and my photos will show just how crazy it is. My giant bed was not as comfortable as I thought with the springs being right under me so I wrapped myself in the big fluffly blanket they had like a burrito and slept pretty good for the night.

Breakfast at the hotel was my first crepe with pancake and here was the French influence finally kicking in I figured:) Headed to the villages to see the enormous terraces and "Black" H'mong people today. Black is not referred to their skin color but more their dress.

Its a hiker's paradise here with so many outfitters stocking "The North Face" gear...fake of course but looks sooo good! Foot and body massages range fro $2-$5 US dollars between 20-45 minutes. I was going to do it yesterday but my body felt ok so thought I would treat myself when I really need it.

Hopefully I will get a chance to write one more time before getting on the overnight train back to Hanoi tonight.
