Vietnam

For Chuseok (Korean Thanksgiving) in September, we decided to head down to Hanoi and Halong Bay area for a week.

Here are a few highlights!

The streets and sights of Hanoi

Saint Joseph's Cathedral

The Opera House

Ngocson Temple

The Natural History Museum

Hao Lo Prison (The Hanoi Hilton)

A traditional Vietnamese liquor/wine made from dead reptiles and other animals - YUM!

Halong Bay sights

The Amazing, Surprising Cave (literal translation)

Cat Ba Island (our resort and around town)

We had a great time and were pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere and people we encountered.

No more major trips for the two of us for a long time now... though we have a few Korean excursions planned before the big arrival!
