A haphazard chronicle of my inevitable misadventures during a year in Vietnam and points east.

p.s. I'll be pitifully grateful if you send me email during my exile: TravelerKaty@hotmail.com

After spending three days walking 20 miles up and down steep mountains over rocks and down treacherous scree-filled slopes, I managed to wrench the hell out of my ankle while walking down the streets of Lijiang to pick up my backpack at the old hotel. Well, at least it means I was justified in carrying around that elastic ankle support thing for the last six months.

The problem is that I have another mountain to scale very soon -- tomorrow would be ideal, in fact. I think I may have to rest it one more day before I tackle Emei Shan, a holy temple pilgrimage mountain of China. Guess I'll go see the Big Buddha instead.
