These photos are from my trip through Hanoi. One of the hotel clerks in Hanoi invited me to tour his family’s farm. So we got on a motorbike and off we went…70 kilometers up to his family’s lychee farm, near the Chinese border.

An impromptu toll gate set up at the entrance to the village. The bridge over the stream in the last photo had nearly washed out, so some village children were imposing a "toll" to raise funds. (See the kids on the right?)
Having seen the bridge, I was more than happy to contribute...I'm amazed it didn't dump us into the river, frankly.
