Here is a picture outside our hotel. As you can see, scooters are a very popular form of transportation. I've seen many families riding with their babies on their scooters. I find this fascinating considering I just tossed my infant car seat because it expired. Very different standards.
We're staying in old Hanoi. It is very lively and exciting to explore. We can't walk on the side walks because there are street vendors and that's where people park their scooters. This leaves us to walking on the street which is very intimidating but I think I'll get the hang of it. No one really stops. It's a sort of weaving skill. No sudden movements. Make your way to the other side of the street one step at a time. When in doubt, we shadow a local, especially crossing the big intersections.
I love the hats. I love seeing people sell fruit on the back of their bicycles. It's so exciting to be here!
This is troubling. How does it all connect?
We are just waking up now for our first full day in Hanoi. I feel much better than yesterday and am ready to explore. We have a few days to ourselves before we pick up Victoria so we will take advantage of some kid-free time.
