If you know Tristan, then the title of this post isn't all that surprising. It is usually just a matter of time before Tristan is physically hurt in any given situation. However, the context of this particular beating is what makes it so great.
First, this happened a few days ago. Nothing serious has resulted so I assume it is ok at this point to laugh at it. If a more serious injury had resulted, we may have to feel sorry for him or something.
Second, it actually wasn't Tristan's fault. Not in a direct sense.
While in Sapa, Tristan, David, and Sam went to get a massage. An innocent adventure, one with an expected result of relaxation. Sam and David have their massage, goes as planned, relaxed, nothing of any interest here. If you want to hear their experiences ask them. Tristan on the other hand, gets beaten up in his massage. A 90 lb. woman has left marks, bruises, and cuts all over his body. It seems that one way of working the stress out of the shoulders is to take metal dog tags and scrape them across the skin. This gave T-Lish a nice tiger stripe effect all down his back.
If this wasn't enough, she then proceeded to assume he had a headache. The remedy, extreme pinching of the temples and top of the nose. So, along with the tiger stripes down his back he also has three bright red marks on his face.
He never said stop, he never thought this odd, and in the end he somehow ended up paying more for his massage then the other participants. Tristan, you never cease to amaze us big guy.
And then David Grubbs fell in a lake later.
Be praying for us as we go to the beach with the orphans over the next few days. Should be a great experience.

There are plenty of people that would pay good money for the chance to hurt Tristan like that. Keep it in mind for a fund raiser when you guys go back next year.
