Adventures Around Hanoi

Zeke's a conehead!
A cone's not just for ice cream!
Brad and Zeke in the taxi!
Random cute girl with SUPER CUTE kittie. The kittie was TINY. And CUTE.

We didn't have any official business today. After breakfast we went to an area that had handicrafts from ethnic minority groups in Vietnam. We bought a blanket by the Tay people in Lang Son. It's very pretty. We got some other goodies too. Then, the rain started. I took Zeke back to the hotel. Brad kept at it a bit longer on his own by foot in the rain. When Zeke had a brief afternoon nap, we used the time to pack. It's amazing...we have so much room in our suitcases! Seriously! Are we forgetting something?!?! We had a late lunch/early dinner at KFC. We followed that up with more shopping in the Old Quarter. We came back to the hotel, Zeke played and then fell asleep.

We found out that our visa appointment got moved up in the morning so we are happy about that. We hope and pray that it means we'll be able to get out easily on time tomorrow night. Please pray for: smooth, easy flights, good flying weather, ease in making our connections and a REALLY EASY time for Zeke on the flights and the time in-between.

If all goes on-time, we'll be in Springfield at 10AM Saturday. We would be honored to have friends waiting for us at the airport. *smiles*

Wish I could be at that airport! So happy to hear it's moved up-you'll get out, and be fine. :) We did not use benadryl for the flight home (it's not our thing) but as you know, that option is always available if you really want him to sleep...ugh. Loved the pic with the hat!
Love
