Back in Hanoi

So I just got off of the worst train ride in my life. I know, it's only my second ride, but it was the worst. First of all on this ride I learned that sleeping on a train without any drugs, is somewhat impossible. Second thing is that I do not like to jarred, craddled, and bumped when I'm sleeping also : ) Lesson learn, Vietnam!

Ok back to my awesome adventure. Yesterday we went to a village with a communist school and did a little TLC for the villagers. The kids were so cute and some of them were really sick too!!! Thanh Phin was the name of the school and it is around Sapa. One thing about Sapa that I won't miss is the Mong girls crowding you like the paparazzi, to sell you things that they've made. To make it worse, you have to barter with them for there goods. I mean, Vietnam is dirt cheap, and I feel like I'm robbing them some how.

The whole time in Sapa we were in a cloud. A misty, cloud. You couldn't see two feet in front of you and the driving time in it, was frightening! So we fly to Danang in the morning at 6:00am and do another clinic. The clinics are hard work and my feet and back ache afterwards, but it is totally worth it.
