Yesterday we ventured out for some local culture and sightseeing. We walked around Hoan Kiem Lake which is not far from our hotel. It is a beautiful lake where a lot of the locals sit and relax. In the middle of the lake is Tortoise Tower (see picture above). Also right on the lake is Ngoc Son Temple. The famous "red bridge" leads to the temple and it was so pretty. I finally got some pictures of me & Maddie together. She loves being out and about seeing all of the sights. After we finished our excursion, we ended up at Highlands coffee again for a nice cool drink then back to our hotel for naps. We tried a new restaurant for dinner (don't remember the name) but I tried some Pho (soup) very popular here in Vietnam, and it was very tasty. Today is Saturday & so far we are taking it easy this morning. We may venture out a little later this afternoon. Maddie is doing great. Every day her little personality comes out more, and every day I see more and more smiles. She is a great sleeper and a great eater!
