back from the mountains...


A little boy riding a buffalo in Son La province.

Our second-to-last night in Hanoi after three weeks on a motorbike trip in the Northern mountains; we drove back into Hanoi on Friday after a lazy day spent in Mai Chau (still one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen and possibly my favorite place in all of Vietnam) and have been immersed in packing and saying goodbye to Hanoi ever since. Photos may have to wait till after yet more traveling, but at any rate, the trip was amazing and the best way I can imagine to say goodbye to the country that's been my home for the last year. Will write more, if not particularly soon. For now, hen gap lai (see you again!). xxoo.
