On our way home

Today we fly home, taking a circuitous route: Hanoi - Bangkok - Taipei - Vancouver.
We've had a wonderful trip, our first to Asia.

We've especially enjoyed meeting many wonderful people and experiencing the natural beauty of the country. Vietnam is an amazing country undergoing rapid economic growth, profound social change and big environmental challenges. We learned a lot.

We leave you, after the plane pictures, with a few random photos for your enjoyment.
So we say goodbye dear readers, thank-you so much for following along!

Some greenery on the wall near the cathedral in Hanoi

More plants on the wall, with a bench too

On weekends some roads around Hoan Kiem Lake are closed to traffic,  and kids have fun in these cars



Here we're about to visit the excellent Museum of Women with two Spanish speakers we met in a cafe

In the doorway of the old Hmong house (built in the 1930's) that's been turned into a lodge in the village of Meo Vac, north of Hanoi
