    The Ho Chi Minh Museum in Hanoi- very imposing looking structure.: by sglass, Views[117]
         		 by sglass, Views[106]
         		 The temple is built on one pillar coming out of a lotus pond and is meant to resemble a lotus blossom-- sacred in Buddhism: by sglass, Views[123]
         		 One Pillar Pagoda- originally built in 1049 but destroyed by the retreating French army in 1954 after the First Indochina War (jerks). The Vietnamese rebuilt.: by sglass, Views[157]

    Uncle Ho's Mausoleum: by sglass, Views[133]
         		 We shuffled through the HEAVILY guarded line and got inside. You walk up one staircase, and enter a square room with a walkway around its perimeter. Guards are everywhere. Uncle Ho is lying in a glass case in the center of the room, looking very dead. You have to keep moving at all times and then you exit out the other side of the room and back down another staircase to exit. The whole thing takes only minutes and you are squished in line the whole time.: by sglass, Views[131]
         		 Ho Chi Minh's mausoleum- he wanted a very simple burial. Instead he got this...: by sglass, Views[126]

         		 Not a bad place to live!: by sglass, Views[133]
     
    Snapping a shot of the inside as we shuffle past: by sglass, Views[101]
         		 Uncle Ho's traditional house-- he insisted on living in a simple house (no plumbing!) when he was older: by sglass, Views[229]
         		 View of Uncle Ho's Lake: by sglass, Views[108]
         		 We did a LOT of waiting in line and shuffling slowly during this visit. SO MANY tourists! This compound is the #1 tourist destination in Vietnam.: by sglass, Views[101]
         		 View of Ho Chi Minh's simple house on his huge government compound in downtown Hanoi: by sglass, Views[127]
     
    Some of Ho Chi Minh's cars: by sglass, Views[129]

         		 Presidential Palace, Hanoi (formerly Palace of The Governor-General of French Indochina): by sglass, Views[744]
         		 Kids hard at work with their pieces on display around the walls and a donation box front and center!: by sglass, Views[121]
         		 A tourist stop between Hanoi and Ha Long Bay-- this massive warehouse where all sorts of
     
    Cookin street food on the sidewalk: by sglass, Views[148]
         		 Sitting on our tiny stools on the sidewalk, stuffing ourselves: by sglass, Views[126]
         		 MORE street food! All of it yummy!: by sglass, Views[106]
         		 Brothers reunited again!: by sglass, Views[161]
         		 We meet back up with Sam! He has also traveled north through Vietnam since we last saw him in Phu Quoc: by sglass, Views[129]
     
    View out our hotel window of the old quarter, Hanoi: by sglass, Views[103]
         		 When you travel together for 3 months in Asia you get used to not having as much personal space/privacy... Joe on one side, toilet on the other. At least we had a real shower here!: by sglass, Views[107]
         		 One of the hotels we stayed at in Hanoi-- this pane of glass was all that separated the bathroom from the room! You could see right in!: by sglass, Views[101]
         		 Dragon: by sglass, Views[95]
         		 Grand finale! Dragon puppet!: by sglass, Views[107]
     
    Unfortunately none of this was translated so this little golden statue gave a speech, but we have no idea what he said.: by sglass, Views[100]
         		 Some sort of final ceremony where the puppeteers (we think?) come out from behind the screen: by sglass, Views[120]
         		 Gathering coconuts: by sglass, Views[82]
         		 Women down below hold out their skirts to gather coconuts in that the boy throws down to them: by sglass, Views[103]
         		 Gathering coconuts-- the puppet scurries up and down the tree!: by sglass, Views[105]

         		 Girls and their umbrellas: by sglass, Views[84]
         		 Fire puppets: by sglass, Views[112]
         		 These puppets were on fire! Made it really difficult to take a good picture though :-/: by sglass, Views[115]
         		 The fisherman and the very realistic-looking fish: by sglass, Views[121]
     
    This was a great song/act about a fisherman and a very strong/clever fish: by sglass, Views[149]
         		 Planting rice-- you can see some of the little rice paddy patches floating around: by sglass, Views[136]
         		 The performance included about 12 different songs/acts. All of the puppets and songs are about traditional/rural Vietnamese past times (since that's where the art form originated). Here workers are planting rice: by sglass, Views[152]
         		 Trying to capture some detail of the puppets in the dark, without the photo being blurry was difficult...: by sglass, Views[133]

         		 Water Puppet Show- the puppeteers stand behind the backdrop. The puppets are attached to long poles that the puppeteers hold and maneuver unseen in the back-- this way it looks like the puppets are just floating on the water.: by sglass, Views[285]
         		 Water puppetry is one of the traditional cultural arts of Vietnam. It originated from farmers' rice fields being flooded during rainy season, and for their looking for ways to stay entertained...: by sglass, Views[232]
