We toured the ancient village of Duong Lam with my sister and niece today. It’s about a 90-minute drive from Hanoi. The village is well-preserved and beautiful. After lunch, we went on a bike ride. As usual, it was very hot.
More about the village some other time, but check out my niece’s T-shirt. She’s eleven and not too embarrassed by my hugs yet, unlike my nephew and the other four older nieces who are too cool for me now. But I didn’t hug her at all today because I was really sweaty. I’ll have to remember to do that first thing in the morning.
