In Hoi An

Hi  everyone, we left  Hanoi at 11 pm and road south on a train for 14 hours.  We are now in Hoi An, our second UNESCO world heritage site!  There are many things we want to see in this area.  We will stay here until Chinese New Year is over. p.s. Hanoi was very busy, cold, and polluted, but i had a lot of fun with my friend Zara.
I miss you and love you all
love Ajah

Ajah in the Village tribes of Northern Vietnam.  Sapa Vietnam....Hmong people
 dye weave and make all there own clothing. It is so beautiful and colourful!

Raining in Hanoi

It's a rainy day in Hanoi.  We just got back from Sapa.  Sapa is a little town in the mountains.  We took a train for 10 hours North from Hanoi.  Then we took a mini bus to Sapa.  There was lots of shops, and places to stay.  Sapa was very cold, and it was always foggy.  We went to Cat Cat village and Lo Cai village.  We saw water Buffalo, and rice fields, and blue chicken meat in the market.  There is lots of fruits and vegetables and lots of markets selling everything you could ever imagine.  There are lots of people trying to sell stuff to us.  They are called the Hill Tribe people.  The woman and children walk three hours from their villages to Sapa everyday to sell hangings, purses, bracelets, musical instruments and clothes. 
My favorite part was when we went on a motorbike up the mountain.
Bye Bye for now
P.S. I would love to hear from all who read the post.  Love Ajah  (and corey who typed this time for me)

We have taken some initiative!

We all know Ajah was the inspiration behind the blog thing, because so many of our friends and family wanted to keep in touch with her during her travels.  Undoubtedly, Beverley has always loved the idea of a Blog to keep everyone informed and up to date on our little journey.  She was ultimately the energy behind this little experiment, while i nodded in aggreement but but did little else.
As it was, Peace kindly got us up and online,  we made a few posts, and then things just seemed to get too confusing.  
To cut to the chase, i have put down my very inexpensive Vietnamese Beer and have tampered with the settings. I have decided to take some initiative. I am reluctant to admit i haven't much better to do.
So now the blog should appear in English, and everyone should be able to comment.  We have some pictures to post and we should be able to do a better job of making the blog more interesting.  At the very least, not so disappointing. A special apology goes out to Robin for repeatedly baiting her with the promise of  current events from her long lost friends only to have the same old blog day after day.  I know she knows us well enough by now to know that eventually we do get our stuff together.  My Dad, however, may still have his doubts...

Hello to all who are faithfully following this not so up to date blog! We have bêen a little lax in the keêping of it as it was supposed to be Ajah's and she has not had the kind of access to a computer that we had hoped! Nevertheless! We will do our best to kêep you all up to date and Ajah will post very sơon with some new photos. Other than that Happy New Year to you all and we wish much peace and happiness to eăch and everyone of you.
We are currently in Hanoi Vietnam and will spend about another month or so here in Vietnam travelling around and using Hanoi as a base.  It is very air polluted here and I for one will be glad to get away into the mountains and down the coast in the next few days. This city has just about maxed out as far as traffic caos and conjestion can possibly  achieve! They all wear gas masks but no helmets...we have sêen a few accidents thank gơodness non of them were fatal (cross my fingers).Love to all
Bev
