Got There


 Here is Nam Vu working his keyboard. Now entering 8th grade, he is quite the conversationalist. It's hard to believe that I have known him since he was a baby.
 Looking down  Trung Hoa street before the walk. This area consists only of single family houses, not very wide, but deep and high. The reason they are not wide is that the French, who used to occupy Vietnam, charged taxes on the length of street the property occupied.From outside of the house looking in, you can see the classroom. Most of the first floor is the classroom. The chairs are new and make life easier to form groups and for cleaning up after class.
 Here is Binh closing the front gate before we begin our walk early walk. We took the dog and enjoyed the cool, cloudy morning. The only people out seemed to be runners those going to jobs. Not much traffic...yet, but you know Hanoi traffic.







The family: Vinh (standing), Nam Vu, Nam, and Binh. We had real pho, and it was terrific.



Across from us sat two men, and Vinh asked them to take a picture of the five of us. Got to say we are darn good looking.
