Guess what we did today....
We ate pho in Vietnam! This is crazy to me and still hasn't entirely sunk in. After traveling for nearly 40 hours, we checked into our hotel and within 5 minutes of arriving at our room, it started raining. And I don't mean sprinkles, I mean serious torrential downpouring. So naturally, we showered (because the only time it makes sense to shower before getting rain soaked is after spending nearly 2 consecutive days in planes, airports and Vietnamese minibuses) and ventured out. It was surprisingly difficult to find somewhere to eat but finally happened upon some delicious pho ga. After fueling up, we wandered and explored a little more before returning to the hotel soaked. So, for night one we were successful in nourishing ourselves and maneuvering through the crazy, traffic-signal-less Hanoi streets despite the near-monsoon. Our goal of saying up till 9pm local time to counteract the jet-lag, however, may prove slightly more elusive...
Amazing city view. Looks like a surreal postcard. Bentley has been on several adventures with me each day. Today we ate at Billy's Hot Dog Stand at 2445 Larimer on our way to scope out some landscape pavers. I love reading your blog. I've been sending a few Bentley pics.
