During my first visit to Hanoi, I had the wonderful opportunity to travel out to the Co Loa archeological site with my Vietnamese language classmate Teagan McGillivray and her professor Dr. Nam Kim, who are both at the University of Wisconsin. Co Loa is in Vietnam's Red River Delta near modern-day Hanoi. It may have been the seat of an early state-level society during the Iron Age.
Teagan is taking core samples of the ancient city wall to research which crops were grown back then.
I seem to find kitties wherever I go. My new motto is that cats and dogs are friends not food! This motto is an especially important message in Northern Vietnam, where cat meat and dog meat restaurants abound!
