From Hoi An to Hanoi
We had a lovely time in Hoi An, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. They have preserved/are restoring more of this historic trade route/port town and it has a charming, old feel. A great site to celebrate my 28th birthday and Valentine's Day. As my mother said, the pressure was on Blaine to make it a great day and he lived up to the challenge. He brought me breakfast by the pool and wrote a thoughtful card...in the afternoon we went on a cooking class experience, where we toured through the local market and then took a boat ride out to the cooking school on the riverside. We made some awesome Vietnamese cuisine and got to eat everything we cooked. I got many well-wishes from home via email which really made me feel loved. Thanks to everyone who remembered me. Hope everyone had a nice Valentine's Day!
We took a flight this morning to Hanoi (the capital of Vietnam) and will spend the day tomorrow touring the city. Then we will be leaving for a cruise on Halong Bay, looking forward to that!
More soon!

it has been too long since your last post. i hereby request an update at least once every three days. you are on vacation... you should have plenty of free time right? ok i am glad we talked about this.
we were trekking through the hill tribes of sapa....in the tribes they don't actually have internet. However they do have cell phones.
Imagine a girl in traditional dress (leg wrapping, hat, colorful clothing and all) hoeing a field, then her cell phone rings.....weird.
