Our home in Hanoi and the old city

Picture #1:
We are couchsurfing with a Vietnamese-British family in Ciputra International City, between the airport and the center of Hanoi. The Shells: Robin, Luyen, Nicholas (17) and meat dog, Chance, have warmly welcomed us into their home. Chance did not come home tonight so we have prayed for his safe return.

Picture #2: We were driven around Hanoi by this chap on the bike who apparently knew where Koto restaurant was located. He really did not but we had fun anyway!

Picture #3: Hanoi has some picturesque lakes that add calmness to a chaotic but very interesting city!
The temple in the middle was very peaceful-looking.




Pictures #4-5: The temple of Literature is Vietnam's first university. We crossed a red bridge and entered this beautiful temple where we learned about the mysterious, legendary lake turtle. (picture of Frunty holding the sword on the turtle's back and Pit looking on, wearing their new, comfortable backpacks!)
