Holy motorbikes!

Yesterday we arrived in Hanoi, Vietnam. The views of the rice fields from the plane were the most vibrant shade of green, absolutely gorgeous! In the car ride from the airport, it was surreal to see miles of those gorgeous fields with water buffalo and lady workers scattered throughout! Of course the camera was in the trunk (dang!) but we're hoping to get some pics on the ride back!

Before coming here we continuously heard how this city is run by motorbikes and how dangerous it is just to cross the street, well,,, that is NOT an exaggeration at ALL! It is absolutely crazy to see this in real time! I can't tell you how many times we jetted out to cross the street and jumped back on the curb! I'm sure the locals are having a good laugh watching us to do this over and over again.

We experienced treacherous amounts of rain last night but managed to grab a delicious Vietnamese dinner! We're trying to see as much of Hanoi as possible. We're happy to be staying in the French Quarter, which resembles a bit of a European feel nestled within such a hectic city!
