So….we didn’t go on that road trip. Too cold, not enough jackets between us.

The day in Hanoi was super fun, though! We walked around eating things, seeing temples and presidential palaces, night markets and street fairs. I accidentally on purpose took part in a tug-of-war and fell on my ass ( after we won!).

It’s been so nice to get to know Franco these few days. He’s great! He’s nice to let us sleep at his place.

Tomorrow is a water puppet show, and a flower market, and maybe some jazz. And lots more coffee!

Good morning!

Had a lovely day walking around the old quarter in Hanoi, getting to know Franco. Crystal and I are staying at his place while in Vietnam. It was nice to see all the streets I got to know in December.

Tonight it’s Korean BBQ and a walk around the lake.

We’ll be out of town for a few days, in a small village. So, no updates for a while.

See you later!

Had a relaxing day moving back to Bangkok. We got our 20,000 steps in, a lovely dinner, and several hours of window shopping in.

Onward tomorrow to Hanoi and some more adventures there!

Had a lovely day in the mountains outside Chiang Mai. Did some walking, some picture-taking,  some way-too-much lunch-eating. There’s waterfalls and pagodas to see there, a bunch of birds and some butterflies. No monkeys tho 😭

Chiang Mai has been amazing. I could spend five more days here. It really has something special. Lots of amazing food, nice people, great sights.

Off to Bangkok again for one night, then on to Hanoi to meet a friend of a friend for some Vietnam scenery. 

Good morning!
