Kids First Riders

So far we have biked through fertile farm land, small villages, and along the ocean. Once spotting us, children often run up to the road and yell, “Hello!” During one ride, we rode through a small farm community about the time kids were riding home from school. Several of them rode next to us and wanted to race. Other games they play include soccer, volleyball, and hacky sac.

This trip is more than a bike tour - it’s a complete package designed to enrich our views of the Vietnamese people and their culture. Biking is a great way to gain more interaction with the local people. This post needs to be extremely short because of time restraints, but I wanted to share some pictures taken so far on our journey. We still have much ground to cover!

This will be a short post because of time constraints and other factors. The group has spent the first two days in Hanoi visiting the Presidential Palace, Ho Chi Minh’s tomb, Hoa Lo prison, and various historic sights. Of course, markets and street vendors are very interesting as most sights and sounds in the city. There are some amusing stories already that I hope to share later when more time is available. Suffice it to say we are having a blast.

Next we travel to Halong Bay to spend the night on a boat and go kayaking. We had hoped to post some pictures by now but Internet access has been difficult so far. Maybe in a couple of days we will have the chance.
