Hanoi Touring - Friday, November 14 - Part 1

First observation...traffic is even worse than Saigon! Nobody pays attention to any traffic signs or directions...including "Do Not Pass" and one-way streets. This shot shows some of what you face when trying to cross a street...




Our first stop today, after driving around the French Quarter, and the lake into which John McCain parachuted when he was shot down during the Vietnam War, was at the mausoleum of Ho Chi Minh...or more correct, the park adjacent to the mausoleum, as the mausoleum was closed for renovation. The park contained the living quarters and office for Ho Chi Minh, when he was president of the reunified Vietnam. Also some of his cars. The one-pillar pagoda is also in the park.
