Going out in Hanoi with the gang is, to say the least, a real "trip." First you have to catch the little devils, get them cleaned up and dressed. It is sort of like putting socks on an eel. Two eels.
Next is the double stroller and convincing the older ones to find their shoes, remember the cameras and chargers, etc. We walk everywhere. It is a little disconcerting to realize that the street folks who reach out for the children do so as a gesture of kindness and real pleasure at seeing this unusual grouping. If they did it in the states, you would probably call the cops, but here it is facinatingly universal.
We went to the Art and Literature "museum" and then the museum of fine arts (not shown) and by the time this was over, everyone was a dead duck. But the puppet show at night and the night market awaited. Tired yet?

Just your typical day in Hanoi. Were the paparazzi out in force? I'm sure all the tourists wanted to have their pictures taken with you...
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! How great are the kids - this was their third trip to the Temple of Art and Literature???? You guys should hire them out as tour guides!
