              hamming it up for the camera 
            | 
           
          "Here guys; you want my binky?" 
             He still won't take any binkies except this pink one  | 
        
        
          |   | 
            | 
        
        
            
          "I love Megan! Or at least my mom tells me I will."   | 
            
          Talking on the phone to Gaga and Papa   |

          The first solid food we have been able to get him to eat   | 
           
          "This strawberry yogurt is much better than rice cereal"   | 
        
        
          |   | 
            | 
        
        
           
          A yogurt-faced Eli   | 
           
          Showing off for the camera   |

          A cute little shop where we found some great items   | 
           
          St. Joseph's Cathedral   | 
        
        
          |   | 
            | 
        
        
           
          Ly Quoc Buddhist Pagoda    | 
           
          Some more beautiful buildings   | 
        
        
          |   | 
            | 
        
        
           
          Hmm... we're guessing most American's don't shop here   | 
           
          We found this high end skate shop in Hanoi ( link)   | 
        
        
           | 
           | 
        
        
           
          Glass bits cemented on the wall form primitive barb wire 
              (this is the "Hanoi Hilton" where U.S. POWs were held)   | 
           
            This dog is caged outside a nearby restaurant
                 Lunch, anyone?

          The Guoman Hotel; our home in Hanoi ( link)   | 
           
          A few doors up is the western-friendly Paloma Cafe   | 
        
        
           | 
           | 
        
        
           
          The fruit in the bottom of the picture is Dragon Fruit   | 
           
          Inside, it has a texture like a Kiwi, but is less tart tasting   | 
        
        
          |   | 
            | 
        
        
           
            We don't know the name of this, but they  
served it at our G&R ceremony  | 
           
          To eat it, you score it, then pull out the 
little sectioned pieces; the biggest has the seed   | 
        
        
           | 
           | 
        
        
           
          We also do not know the name of this fruit yet but it 
            is one of the most common fruits for locals
  | 
           
          You peel off a hard outer layer and the fruit is like a  
            peeled grape but with a big, hard, shiny stone in it
  |

            I was trying to take a picture of Eli's formula...
            | 
           
            but Katie wanted me to take a picture of her instead
