The most beautiful girl

This is Cha from Sapa. She was one of the H'mong girls trying to sell to the tourists. I didn't buy, but I did get enthralled by her presence and enjoyed our brief conversation. I normally don't do many double takes and can't fathom a triple take - I'm totally lying - but I made an exception for her. I didn't even notice the kid on her back until I looked to review my pictures. By that time the drool had frozen on my jacket. Anyway, I felt like a kid again, a kid who couldn't have the girl and who couldn't get to sleep because he couldn't get her out of his mind. It felt nice to know I was alive.
