So, we haven’t done a whole lot of blog worthy sightseeing in our two weeks in Hanoi. What we have done a lot of is eat and eat and eat — more on that in a future post — and … Continue reading →
When you have been to Hanoi multiple times like we have, you start looking for some off the beaten path things to do. Luckily, there are two sets of murals in Hanoi and both are within walking distance of the … Continue reading →
