Hanoi
First day on our own and it has been very relaxing, although we are not used to the heat. We ventured out to the Prison Museum which was used by the French during the French War. The stories of the imprisonment during this time were brutal. This was also used during the American War and was ultimately called Hanoi Hilton since the prisoners were treated so well (not sure how accurate that is).
This is where Senator John McCain was held during his POW time.
Hayden was excited to see his name on the sign.
This was a four day weekend, given the holiday and many of the roads were closed for pedestrians. Kids were riding the motorized vehicles through the street.
We walked for a good part of the day and the kids were wiped out. I guess they hold it together better when we have someone else in the mix, but we were hungry, hot, and tired, so we headed back to get a bite to eat, hit the hotel and relax in some AC and do some home schooling.
Kids are spent!
Dinner with our host Luan. We had some yummy eats and good company!
Heading to Halong Bay tomorrow!
