While on this trek I taught the crew several of my favorite knots, we met a couple from Chile, discussed world cup qualifications, another couple from Australia, and a gentleman from Hanoi who was an NVA anti-aircraft gunner during the war. As we met he sighed..."ah...my former enemy...now my friend."
We swam, I drew in the moleskin, we ate prawns and tasted the local beer called Halida, we explored a cave, and shook hands heartedly as we disembarked for our return to Hanoi.
This was a contemplative journey full of Peace.
I really enjoy hearing about the people in Vietnam. Had no clue about their lifestyle. Great stuff.
