sorry it took awhile but we are in hanoi

well we have been in vietnam for one week. It is great. I know some people love it and some hate it but if you just go with the flow it is a truly amazing place. we spent t4 days in ho chi minh city. toured the mekong delta and I promptly got a nast stomach but while on an island in the delta. it was an intersteing experience. a hole in the corer standing on two wooden blocks. hey i just count it as another part of the joureny. our tour guide was wonderful even with my problems and we enjoyed the trip.

we flew to hanoi on saturday about a two hour flight then headed to Thanh Hoa and got the babies. there are three familes all together and all three babies are wonderful little girls. we have all had a great time. spent two nights at van chai resort of the china sea in sam son. it is a hidden paradise. great food great room and wonderful staff.

the giving and recieving was a very moving experience. the orpanage personel and provincial representatives provided a wonderful and memorial experience for all of us.

Hanoi. All I can say is it is great. It is very busy but you get used to it. Crossing the road, no problem just go and you are ok. the people are friendly and curious but wonderful. It strikes me as the kind of place if you open up and take it all in you will really have a good time. The smells sounds and tastes are all new different and exciting. We applied for passport today and hope to have interviews by friday. our agency staff in country is wonderful as well. they really o the extra mile to help you out. well sorry for no caps is this is a strange laptop for me and i will see if i can get some pics up
