Still hot here in Hanoi...today the weather channel said that it feels like 109 degrees outside. Hot! We took some picutres of our trip to Hoa Lo Prison also called the Hanoi Hilton by the Americans during the Vietnam war. Also, there are some pictures of the smelly meat market that we visited around the corner from the prison. Enjoy!
Tomorrow we pick up Lyla's passport and do her medical exam....after that we just wait patiently to be called for our second and last embassy appointment to obtain her visa. Please keep your fingers crossed that this happens quickly for us!
This is the "toilet" where the prisoners had to do their business.
A replica of how the prisoners were treated while at the prison. They were shackled to the ground.
This is a cell door in the death row section of the prison.
Pictures are out of order, but pigs feet anyone?....
This is a guillotene where the "bad"prisoners were beheaded.
The actual uniform that John McCain was wearing when his airplane was shot down during the Vietnam War.
Meat and Vegatable Market.
The only thing missing in this picutre is the smell! The hot weather and the meat make very undescribable smells!
Disturbing, but we had to put it on here.....dog...tail and all!

Uncle Shane, happy belated Father's Day. Sorry it's late my mom had me out of town again. She thinks we are traveling fools.
When are you returning with my new friend?
Griffin
