More photos-Vietnam

Hanoi-before volunteering and after


During our "city tour" day we went to the Ethnilogical Museum and learned about some of the minority cultures that we might meet in the Sapa/Ta Van area.  Behind us is an example of a traditional building from one of the groups.


Entrance to the Temple of Literature, Vietnam's oldest university, founded in the 11th century.



You have the rub the turtle's head for good luck.  Alex was a little late because about an hour earlier she took a nasty fall trying to catch the bus and completely skinned up her hand, knee, and foot.  Oh yeah, and she face-planted into a coconut that was on the sidewalk.



The bustling Old Quarter of Hanoi: full of pedestrians, bicycles, motorbikes, and street vendors.



Chris enjoys one of many glasses of bia hoi, a fresh beer you can drink on the sidewalk.

Cat Ba Island


Taking a motorbike around the island was a lot of fun
