It's Tuesday evening in Hanoi and a cold spell hit our neck of the woods - a cold 65 degrees! A couple of women were concerned that we didn't have a hat on our daughter. We will bring a hat with us tomorrow so we don't insult the locals. She was dressed head to toe in long sleeves, a sweater and stuffed into a quilted snugglie! But, for the locals, they dress their babies so warmly!
Today we went with our guide exploring the cultural aspects of Hanoi - visited temples, the red bridge, the Temple of Literature, Ho Chi Minh burial site and museum. Very interesting and we'll post a bunch of pictures from our day next.
We definately recommend a local guide arranged via the hotel for convenience and the ability to see so many things in 1/2 day. We never would have seen so much on our own and it was so easy to travel with the baby via car everywhere.
Our US Embassy appointment is set for tomorrow afternoon. Assuming all goes well (keep your fingers crossed for us and the other families) we'll start our journey home on Friday. Let's hope it takes a little less than the 56 hours it took to get here!
Enjoy the pictures we're posting...
