Family togetherness at its best! Family of four out for the day.
Skinny houses and intricate spider webs of power lines.
Ha Long Bay was beautiful.
The brotherhood.......
Feasting on the boat....yum yum......We arrived in Hanoi for a couple of days--the word to describe Vietnam is "motor scooters." Thousands pack the streets. Families of four are a common sight and we even saw families of five riding on them. There will be a little child on the front playing, then dad and then mom feeding a baby or holding another child and all their gear etc. We saw them carrying building supplies, a very LARGE pig in a cage as big as the scooter, trees and everything you can possibly imagine. The houses are tall and skinny! Upon arrival we visited the Old Quarter of Hanoi and Dong Xuan Market. In the evening we enjoyed a water puppet show. The next day we took a boat tour to Ha Long Bay. We visited islands and caves. It is an immense bay with 5,00 inlets. Our travels then took us to the Hanoi Hilton where the U.S. prisoners of war were kept. It was very sobering.

Yes, it would be perfect for you Lori. Lucy sits in front of Wes and plays with toys and you nurse the baby on the back and usually have a sack of food and gear hanging off the side and by your feet. Believe me we saw it all. Just like in a car going on a trip, but on a scooter. CRAZY.
Just thinking of Hanoi Hilton causes shivers down my spine.
And there you are in the sweetness of the day, viewing lovely families 'riding' by.... oh my!
I have mixed feelings...Tears of gratitude... Mom
