Vietnam for Christmas! Day 10 - Hanoi

Our last day in Vietnam was spent walking around Hanoi again. This time with a wider berth. I think we'll do this in photos again...


Military dudes walking up and down the sidewalk in front of the Federal Government Office.

A sunlit street.
This is about as close as we got to the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum.
Lotus flowers. I think.
The Temple of Literature was really beautiful.
It's turtles all the way down!
Large Bonsai trees in the Temple of Literature.
A door that Alyssa freaked out over.
The old prison over looked by the new office tower.
The Front of the Hoả Lò Prison.
New Years preparations in front of the Opera House.

  2. Okay, time for an actual comment instead of a few words. haha

    It really does seem like you had a great time there. It's gorgeous and the food looks so interesting. If I ever get a passport and a plane ticket, I'll be asking you for advice on where to go, just so I can see those places for real.
