Jess has finally arrived from the States and we have made our way north to the beautiful city of Hanoi. It's exactly as we pictured it. Ancient streets filled with motorbikes, cyclos, green trees hanging over food stalls and rural women carrying everything from fruit to small noodle kitchens on long poles from their backs.
We got kicked out of our hotel today for not playing along with the owners wishes to buy tour packages from him. What an ass.. Turns out these things happen for a reason as we now have a very nice room with a balcony overlooking a downtown street for the same price. It's wonderful how these things happen and it serves as a reminder to us to flow with the good vibes towards calmer, more beautiful seas!
Tomorrow we are going to make our way to Cat Ba island in Halong Bay. We plan to soak up some some sun, rent kayaks and generally just act like we are on vacation instead of a mission for a little bit. Halong Bay is filled with limestone islands jutting out from the sea. Caves, monkeys and junks are everywhere. I'm excited for what I'm sure is going to be one of the most photogenic parts of this trip. I promise to get some pics uploaded this week. We decided not to bring the laptop so we are at the mercy of the internet gods, but I'm sure that with the extra time and a little patience we can make it work..
We love you all and will write more to each of you soon. Until then you are always in our thoughts and we have a little bit of each of you in our hearts as we continue our adventure. Keep the emails comin as they are greatly appreciated here on the frontlines!
Again, so much love to each and everyone!
Jess and Chris
