Hanoi

Our last morning in Hanoi, we toured the Museum of Ethnology dedicated to the Hmong people of Vietnam. Scenes depicted making conical shaped hats, carrying basket woven fish traps on bicycle, typical home scenes, and shamanic funeral ceremonies.

Lunch, if you can believe it, was at Al Fressco’s - famous for ribs and pizza - talk about ethnic food…

This afternoon we flew to Siem Reap, our first stop in Cambodia.

I think it's liquor in there, but I didn't want to get too much closer to see.
