Dien Bien Phu

Yo. I am in DBP on the border with Laos. It was a pretty hard day, with one significant cimb, but not too bad. The next three will be the hail mary's. I left Tuan Giao about 8am after some great coffee and some noodles. I was almost attcked by dogs last night. The town had roving packs of dogs that all noticed me for some reason. I have seen that I stand out a bit here! I realized today that I must look to them like a H'mong tibesperson would look riding through Arkansas on a clapped out Minsk. They have been more friendly to me than some in Arkansas might be. At least I think thay are friendly. Maybe they are constantly making fun of me. Reminds me of a story Dad told me... Ask me about it. I am about to get some food and go to the DBP museum so I'll catch y'all later. Take care, Geoff
