Sa Pa


The Hill Station restaurant - a sampler of corn and rice "wine" - actually this is high-alcohol hootch served tastefully in these lovely pottery containers. Oh Lord, thank you for putting me back in a tourist area.


Banana flower salad and Hmong-style pork (three little cat-food shaped piles of pork, pretty tasty) served with excellent local rice.




Only decent photo of Barbara on trip - in hotel room drinking coffee with silk scarf.


Rice terraces --so much fog it is rare to catch a view. I had to climb up mud steps to catch this photo -- any view is hard to come by in this very foggy town.

Cat cat village - I think I go there tomorrow on a mini-trek.. We tried to go today but missed the tollbooth, there is a fee to get in -- and were unwilling to walk back to the top of the hill to buy a ticket! 



Me and my favorite animal-- water buffalo -- a herd walked past our hotel this morning
