Hanoi

  We arrived in Hanoi after a 2 day ordeal of missed flights and a night in Bangkok. We arrived in Hanoi to a brand new international terminal, they've also built a new super highway into the city. Wow, Vietnam is booming. We are staying in the old French Quarter, a maze of winding streets and little shops. The buzz of the city is quite a shock after quiet Leyte. Our room is very nice in a modern hotel, a bargain at $60 per night. Lots to do and see. 

     

We had a nice meal in the above restaurant for $7.00. We like visiting this park around a lake in the center of Hanoi. It's strange John McCain landed in this lake when shot down, then bayoneted, it's so peaceful now. The locals love hanging out here. They smiled and said hello to us, the past is forgotten
