Back to Hanoi & off to Sapa

The drive back from Halong Bay to Hanoi was uneventful but fun to see the landscape, fields and architecture. And our guide was so informative about his country in terms of history, politics, social norms, the emerging economy and the most interesting his personal life. He really gave us an insight about his fabulous country.

    The dye color in the clothing these folks wear is amazing. And yet, it looks like some of them are wearing old NFL gear from Sports Illustrated. What an amazing trip you guys are taking.
