Hanoi, Vietnam




With mom and Ron in town, Andrew and I decide to go on a last minute trip with them to Hanoi, Vietnam. It is very eye opening-- a trip not to miss. Absolutely nuts to take a 2 year old, however we survive the trip mostly with Andrew riding on my back in a baby backpack. I didn't see a single child in a stroller there. The sidewalks are narrow and are where people park their motorbikes. To walk across the street, you simply close your eyes and go, not making eye contact with anyone for fear that you'll be run over! Andrew the most part is excellent-- with a few 2 year old-type tantrums thrown in just for fun! There are cyclos to ride in (mainly for tourists) for about 20,000Dong, or $1.30US for an hour.
