Sapa is beautiful! There is a thick mist that lingers over the mountains in northern Vietnam. I think it is the first time we have actually been cold on our trip. We spent our first morning in Sapa hiking and learning about the black Hmong villages that are located in the hills. The people dress in beautiful outfits that are dyed with indigo, and many of them walk around with blue hands from the dye. The people farm rice and corn on the hills by using terraces. I can’t believe how quickly they can walk up and down the hills. It made us feel out of shape. We’re excited for our two day trek tomorrow, where we will stay out in the villages with the people.
