hanoi with mom & panch, may 2007

Mom, Pancho and Martin went to Hanoi and toured around for about two full days.
Aside from seeing Uncle Ho, we walked around the Old Quarter, had some beers
on Hoan Kiem Lake, ate at the Sofitel Metropole Hotel and scared the sentry at
the Air Force Museum.

Panch and Mom at one of the Hanoi markets. Motor scooters and bicycles also share the little path behind them. I had some difficulty taking this picture because scooters and bicycles kept zooming by!
