Group picture taken on our first day in Hanoi.
Just some photos from my camera.
there are hundreds of photos from the other girls' cameras.
Too many to post here.
Angela & Malu posing as Vietnamese fruit vendors.
They had to buy some bananas & pineapple.
I had to buy 50,ooo worth of these chewy tough old fried carioca.
Old tree behind these 'not so old' three.
St. Joseph's Cathedral at the heart of Hanoi.
only 50 giant steps away from our boutique small 'bed & breakfast' hotel.
Group picture at Le Ton Kin Restaurant to celebrate Yayo's birthday.
Yayo treated us to an authentic Vietnamese dinner.
Yayo, with her bouquet of roses that Angela & Raffy bought at dawn.
Isn't she lovely?
Painting that Swanee & I bought for Yayo. Our gift for Yayita.
Swanee, my roommate, and I did not join the tour to Halong Bay.
Susie didn't like to ride the boat.
I dreaded the 4 hour bus/van ride to Halong Bay and
another 4 hours back.
So, Susie and I went to several art galleries and then went to
the 6pm Vietnamese Mass at St. Joseph's.
Our last day in Hanoi. Waiting for the van that would take us to the airport.
Photos with Dong1 and Dong2. These guys are the 'front desk personnel', bellmen,
porters, utility peeps, cashier, all around help in the hotel.
These guys were actually very nice, funny and quite hospitable.
Thank you Dong (s).
