Jan and I shared a lunch with a young Canadian woman who is here in Hanoi for a year. Then a newly married couple came by in the afternoon for two hours. He helped me sort out a problem with my computer and she showed Jan pictures of their honeymoon in the Philippines.
Afterward Jan and I went into the heart of the city for dinner. We ate at Koto a restaurant that hires and trains street kids. Put through a two year program of classes and training in the restaurant, they come out well equipped to gain steady employment.
We then walked around Hoan Kiem lake, abundant with flowers and lights in celebration of the Vietnamese New Year. Very impressive.
So we celebrated another Valentines Day, quietly but with deep joy that comes from over 40 years of a growing, contented marriage.
To all who are married: Happy Valentines Day. May you who keep working at building strong relationships - 365 days a year.
