Night Train

We are off to Sapa in just a few short hours. We will take the night train, riding in a sleeper car for eight hours. We will spend Saturday night in a hotel and return on the night train Sunday night. Our hotel in Hanoi was very kind to us. They are letting us keep our room until 8:00pm tonight, will store our luggage over the weekend, and give us back our room at 6:00am Monday morning for a VERY discounted price. We have no idea what kind of internet set-up we will have, so we may not be posting over the weekend. Be sure to check back on Monday for pictures of the highlands. We are anxious to see more of God's beautiful creation.

Sleep well to the sway of the cars and the sounds of the engines! Too bad that you can't see the countryside as you travel but getting some sleep might be a better option.

We look forward to more stories and photos of you adventures.

Love, MOM

Jade Gregorio is one of Sarah's biggest fans at age four. This is her take of how Sarah thinks and feels: When she saw the picure of Michael holding Sarah she replied, "Her is NOT tired!!! Her jus' needs a good, long and lax-ing (relaxing) wh-im (swim)!!!" Then as the video feed began to replay and she saw the pictures of the mountains and water again she asked, "Mommy, why does Sarah and them live in the mountains? There's jus' mountains and water ever where!"

Thus, the words of wisdom as seen and determined from a child's viewpoint. From an email from Lisa

Michael and Heather,
We have enjoyed catching up on your journey (we just got internet at home today...21st century here we come!!!) I (Katie) am especially thankful for the connection. Congratulations on your beautiful little girl. We pray that these next weeks and months go well as your family of 3 takes root. Hope to hear from you when you get resettled.
Love, The Salsbery's
