Around the World in 21 Days-The Last Dance

My apologies, if anyone was missed in the photos that follow....

Our last dinner was a bittersweet affair. Because we were in London, a reincarnation of the Beatles arrived and lots of dancing and celebration ensued. It was fun to be among new friends, but sad to say goodbye. A great many friendships have been forged. What a great trip!

The capital city is preparing to hammer the final nail in the coffin of the iconic cyclo, the three-wheeled pedicab once ubiquitous in the country.Already reduced to serving tourists in a steadily dwindling area that they are allowed to operate in for many years now, the Hanoi government plans to stop them altogether, a local official has said.Pham Quang Nghi, the city's Party chief, said in a meeting with the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism this week that the city will gradually ban vehicles which are not suitable for traffic, and the cyclo is one of them.He said the local government will buy the cyclos from their drivers and provide other jobs for them.
