While the kids were in school today, Libby and I plunked down our $3 and rented bikes so we could ride the 10 miles around the entire Ho Tay (West Lake) on a gorgeous, sunny 88 degree day in late October. We enjoyed being outside and riding bikes, something we haven't been able to do in Hanoi. West Lake and the Tay Ho district are one of the more interesting areas of Hanoi.
While riding along, we found this cafe place. Seemed appropriate:
Lunch -- yoghurt coffee and eggplant in a clay pot. Delicious.
We also managed to find our friend Viet on the bike ride. Viet was wearing a pollution protection mask (very common in Vietnam, especially in the last few weeks) and Libby was trying to hear what she was saying without much luck:
One other highlight of the day (there were many): The Chula dress store right near the bike shop. These were amazing silk dresses and clothes with different messages and images on them. A little out of our price range, but still very cool:
