Pipe Break, Hanoi
I returned to Thailand and Chiang Mai three days ago. Normally, the pictures are post are current – where I am and what I am doing at the moment. Not the case now. I have lots of pictures from my travels through Vietnam and I am going to continue posting more of those for the time being.

The Hanoi Opera House was literally glowing in late afternoon sunlight when I came upon it. Completed by the French in 1911, the building is a reminder of Vietnam’s past as a colony of France. The Vietnamese flag flying a top the building, however, leaves no doubt about who is in charge today.
Hoan Kiem Lake, Hanoi
