Around Hanoi

We spent lots of time around Hoan Kiem Lake in the Old Quarter of Hanoi. It was just a few blocks from our hotel, and a lovely break from the crowding of the city. If you went early in the morning, you'd see people doing yoga, taking exercise classes, playing badminton, walking for exercise, etc. It was so interesting! You can read about the lake legend and see a few more pictures here: http://asiaforvisitors.com/vietnam/north/hanoi/hoankiem/.
