Energetic kids join us for our ride...

Every day of the ride we were blessed with the constant accompaniment of small, joyous children overwhelmed with enthusiasm. Who taught these kids to reflexively smile and wave with genuine glee at the first sight of foreigners? Is that something they are born with, an innate sense of kindness to true strangers? Unfortunately another first reaction was to try and hold us back so they could postpone our departure. But once instructed through a few proper waves, their restraining grasps turned into willing pushes, helping us up the endless chain of long hills that characterize northwest Vietnam.
