A whole lotta' nuttin'...

Well, this picture basically sums up our day today. :) With Zachary in full-blown recovery, we stayed around the hotel all day with him, mostly in the room, but we did take a few walks around the grounds. And, so, with not much else going on, we decided to test the self-timer function on our camera here on the reflexology path at the hotel. Wow!

Actually, we also took care of some business today, most importantly sussing out changing our return tickets from Saturday to Wednesday. We also rescheduled our Halong Bay trip to accommodate for the earlier flight, and picked up some new meds for Zachary. We know, very exciting stuff. :)

This evening while Alyssa napped with Zach, Chad took a walk with the Barans to a part of town we have not explored yet, a more southern part of the Hai Ba Trung District. There is a cool lake there called Thien Quang Lake, next to Thong Nhat Park, which looks to be the largest park in Hanoi.

Tomorrow is Vietnam National Day (sort of like Independence Day in the U.S.), the day when, in 1945, Vietnamese President Ho Chi Minh declared, right here in Hanoi's Ba Dinh Square, Veitnam's independence from France. So there are festivities scheduled throughout the City -- hopefully we will be able to venture out with Zach to check some of it out!
