All senses on alert

Sensory overload! Wow! Talk about a culture shock!  Definitely a Notable difference from Thailand. I miss Thailand. Beeping, beeping and a lot of it, (worse than NYC) more motorbikes here than Thailand, I really didn’t think that was possible. Much cooler here, feels wonderful! Mid to High 60s today.

 Stairs, stairs and more stairs.... oh ya Our room is on the 5th floor... Stairs.... 

 So, today we meandered around the Old Quarter. I learned a new phrase “keep it tight” meaning get as close to the curb as you can.  Crossing the street was an adventure. Just follow Trinity!! Who has it down pat.  Haha!! Local fruit On the bathroom wall. It’s not a squat potty! And they sure let you know the harsh way. We had a pretty good lunch that took forever to receive but it gave us a chance to chat and get caught up. Love these 2!

Different vibes. wall art in a coffee shop that Candy and I sat in for awhile. We got everyone together and went walking the market streets for a bit.  We went to a Indian restaurant which I didn’t care for much as I don’t like curry. Then we stopped for coffee. Headed back to the apartment and some did laundry and I just chilled trying to get my go pro working again. 

Vietnam is different specifically Hanoi. 2nd  largest city in Vietnam, with Saigon ( Ho Chi Min city being the largest) Hanoi feels dirty. Not quite sure what to think yet. Hoping the rest of our time in Vietnam is prettier/ better.
