Hai Van Pass....
WELL....MUCH TO MY OWN SURPRISE, I CROSSED HAI VAN PASS WHICH WAS CONSIDERED THE BOOGEY MAN AND IT SORT OF WAS. I DID THIS WITH BAO ANH, BOB, PHOUC AND SALEM. IT WAS SO HARD TO KEEP GOING AT TIMES. WE ALL TRIED TO TALK AND ENCOURAGE EACH OTHER, BUT IT WAS SELDOM THAT ANY OF US COULD SPEAK. I'M TOLD IT IS ABOUT A 15% INCLINE AND WE WALKED THIS MOUNTAIN FOR SEVERAL HOURS WITH A FEW STOPS. IT WAS THE HARDEST THING I HAVE EVER DONE. THE COOLEST PART WAS REACHING THE TOP AND HAVING ALL THESE PEOPLE WHO KNEW ABOUT THE WALK THERE WAITING...THEY GAVE US COLD DRINKS AND A VIETNAMESE WOMAN BRAIDED MY HAIR (REALLY) WHICH, AT THE MOMENT, WAS JUST ABOUT THE BEST THING IN THE WORLD.
