My Mom, Janine - Memere to the kids - left Vietnam today, and we all wanted to say THANK YOU so much for joining us on part of our adventure. It took a lot of courage and energy to make this trip, and we are all so happy that you did! She is truly a world traveler, approaching every experience with fresh optimism and energy unmatched by anyone. Her ability to connect with people from all walks of life, from all backgrounds, all ages and all situations is truly amazing. Her fearless attitude to any new experience is admirable. And of course, her kind, loving nature was so key to the integration of our two new sons into the family. We love you and miss you already!
There are so many stories... but this little example will give you a great window into my Mom... she was determined to ride a moped while in Hanoi... you have to experience the sea of mopeds to truly get it. Here's Memere getting on a moped taxi to explore the depths of Hanoi!
