This morning we walked around the area near our hotel, previously referred to as the Home Depot of Hanoi. We stopped at a bookstore, and guess what, Doug loved it. No purchases made yet - we are waiting until we return from Danang on Wednesday and are in our last hotel room.We also visited the Temple of Literature, a Confucian institution, known as Vietnam's first university.
We then dined on pho (noodle soup) at Pho 24, a "chain" restaurant here in Vietnam that Doug heard about on NPR. Delicious!
This shot reminded us of arriving late on Friday night and having to stop in the middle of a road because a large delivery truck had to take down the power lines in order to drive through the street......note the many, many power lines tangled together in this photo.
The temperature here today is 85 degrees and very humid - and this is still the cool season. We are certain that Danang will be much, much warmer, so perhaps it's a good thing we won't be there for more than one night.
I realize this post is a bit out of order, but Blogger is very slow at times.
Off to cool off with a cold Orangina and the newspaper!
