Greg had a staff retreat with his employees, who generously asked if Claude and I might come too. We had a lovely time getting out of Hanoi to the neighbouring province. Claude's highlight was the monkeys at the Primate Reserve - a fantastic centre that aims to preserve and breed endangered species of monkeys and other apes almost lost from the wild. There was also a turtle reserve, which breeds and releases endangered turtles, many of which are caught and eaten as a delicacy in this part of the world.
We also enjoyed a walk in the Cuc Phuong forest, and climbed up a steep hill into a cave known to be used by prehistoric people.
this looks fantastic. miss you guys so much.
