Children of Sa Pa⛰️
One of the things I remember most about Sa Pa is the children.
Playing football beneath the mountains. Watching strangers pass through their villages. Sitting in rice fields. Running after dogs. Turning an ordinary afternoon into an adventure.
Different place. Different childhood.
And yet so much of it felt familiar.
The freedom to disappear outside for hours.
The ability to make a game out of almost anything.
The feeling that the whole world existed just beyond the next hill.
All the beauty, great and small,
in childhood’s endless territory.
