After a full day of riding our rigs through the mountains, alongside rice paddies and water buffalo and waving screaming children (I swear we're like movie stars here; it's really strange), we have found refuge at an exorbitant - $18 a night - on the outskirts of a small town in Northern Vietnam.
Everything within our anticipated price range is closed as tomorrow is Tet, the New Year holiday that everyone in this country has been celebrating for the last month. As I write this post the hotel attendants are setting up tables and some sort of a sound system in the lobby for a party to go down at midnight. I'm not exactly sure who will attend, as the only hotel guests are me and Alex and a French family of three.
Anyway, more riding tomorrow, but tonight we celebrate. In all likelihood by falling asleep by 9:00 p.m.
