The Presidential Palace
The Mausoleum
Today we ventured to the West Lake area where the Ho Chi Minh area is in the Ba Dinh District. Apparently Uncle Ho, as he is referred to, was quite popular. The Mausoleum was huge and the Presidential Palace was very tranquil with a bontanical garden in the same area.
This overall area was quite nice with large sidewalks and French style buildings. Most noticeably was the lack of continuous honking of the cars and scooters!
We also stopped for a leisurely coffee and lunch. The restaurant served items from beef to porcupine. The porcupine was alive in a cage waiting for someone to order him for lunch. I stuck with the tofu.
People often stop us and kiss both Carli and Pearl.
