TADIOTO

A cold wind blew through Ha Noi – and the leaves were all on the sidewalks – what a beautiful scene.

It was leaves and leaves everywhere – around the old Thang Long citadel, I stopped my bike in spite of the young men in uniforms across the street.  They were guarding the Ministry of Defense and didn’t like me or anyone stopping there. But I wanted to take a photograph – alas, the camera battery didn’t cooperate. 

The other sad thing is Moto, my dog above. He loves going on walks around the Truc Bach lake near our house. But Boxers can’t handle extreme weather really well, and Moto can easily have inflammed lungs in this cold weather. 15 degrees Celsius.

It’s too cold to even sit for a coffee here.  Stay tuned for when Moto and I can get out again, and tell you what’s going on in this town.  Or what’s in the water other than the reflections of the Sofitel Plaza and nearby smaller buildings…
