We arrived in Vietnam last evening and met up with Louise and Peter Markhauser and the kids along with Mary and Kay. We are now travelling with a group of 10 people. We have a minivan taking us all over. Last evening we went to dinner at the most amazing restaurant. It was called the "Forest Restaurant" We went down these steep stairs lined with beautiful folliage and flowers. The restaurant was beautifully done and set like an old logging building. Everything was made from the forest thus it's name. The food was delicious! We had a traditional Vietnamese 6 course meal. Today we are off to see the sites of Ha Noi and visit several museums. Tonight we see a waterpuppet show followed by an overnight train to Sapa (northern Vietnam). We probably will not have internet access for a couple of days. Until next time. Thanks for sending all the messages, we love to read about what is going on back home as well.
