First day in Hanoi

It was a great first day. Friends took us around the city. A unique and beautiful place. 100s of lakes and pagodas everywhere. One in center city has a 100 year old turtle in it.

The traffic is wild. No lights. Cross at your own risk. Just walk straight y ahead and don't make eye contact. The old quarter is a wild cacophony of noise and cars and people but it all seems to work out fine.   It reminds me a bit of the souks in the middle East.

We went to a ceramic shop and Katy took her first molding class. Naturally we had to buy some bowls and a tea set.
