Our first meal
Cha ca is prepared table side, with a variety of fresh herbs, green onion and some sort of fish snake! Delicious!

It is serves with vermicelli noodles, fish sauce, spicy peppers and peanuts. It was a great meal.
At least we could walk on this sidewalk--most of the sidewalks in the old quarter are covered with parked bikes so you have to walk in the street.
Here is a quiet street in Hanoi's Old Quarter. We found that the streets were less crowded outside of this area. Streets within the Old Quarter can be very dangerous to cross.
This is typical of the Old Quarter where we are staying in Hanoi. Old meets new meets old again. Lovely in it's own way.
There is a walking trail that surrounds this lake, with restaurants and coffee houses. It is the prettiest part of Hanoi.
You can see the many coffee houses in this building that allow for a great view of the City and Hoan Kiem Lake.
