Hoi An

Arrived to Hoi An tonight to pissing down rain.




Forecast may be for week of showers!!!

Update

We have arrived in Hue' to heat, heat, heat.

This place is so much quieter than Hanoi and Isobel

has had long swims in the pool and slept thru

the night for the first time all week.

We've hired bike to explore the streets w/in

the Citadel but have to hide out at the Hotel

all but early mornings and evenings due

to the heat. Isobel is quite the little sweater.

Will update photos when we get a more reliable

internet connection.

Hanoi 2009-Day One AM

Day One:

Not much sleep yesterday or last night.

Head out this am for cash and a walk around Hoan Kiem Lake.

Actually saw a turtle pop it's head out of the lake

and wink good fortune our way.

Isobel checks out a "Tat".

Isobel is very popular with the locals.

Too popular by the look on her face.

Everyone wants to touch her or pose for a picture

or whisk her off to show friends.

Seriously, complete strangers take her from our hands

and pass her around the family.

Defenitely a baby loving culture.
She doesn't mind and it gives us a bit of a break.

Worn out from all the Paparazzi...
Now I know how Brangelina's kids feel!
