Entry 3 of 10 | show all | print this entry |
Well, hello everybody!!................GOOD MORNING VIETNAM!!!!
We left Hanoi for the north by taxi taking about an hour and a bit, we saw many things along the way (of which, I took a picture or two of everything)
When leaving the city and getting into the country I saw alot of cool things..........women selling bread buns on the side of the highway.............construction equipment that is older than my mom............and still, motorscooters everywhere.
The town that Jolie's mom is from is where they mine coal (Black Gold)............and the streets and buildings (and dogs) show it..................everything is black with coal dust. Needless to say, we didn't leave her moms place except to go next door and next door to that to meet Jolie's uncle and aunt. Very close family that she has, they all live next door to each other.
After a couple days, we went to meet Jolie's step mom and father.........Jolie looks exactly like her dad who was a very nice man. I wish that I had learned to speak viet better so to speak with her family.
After leaving her dads place, we went by taxi to Hai Phong...............where I am now to meet her oldest sister. On the way, Jolie showed me the spot that she would like to have for a house for us............on the side of a mountain beside a beautiful river.................very nice and I think that on the way back we will go to see it closer and I will take some pictures for all to see.
Today we will have BBQ for lunch with her sister and her husband.............................
Stay tuned for the next episode of "As the 'Nam turns"..................with gee and Jolie....................Peace
Where I stayed:
Mom's place
