In the tradition of seeing embalmed leaders we woke up at 6:30 am and waited on a huge line to view Ho Chi Minh's body.  As all of the Vietnamese people were going through Bryan and I  were pulled out of the line and asked to check our stuff in the "luggaga for foreigners. " Just when we got back in line,we were pulled out a second time. This time to watch propaganda videos of Ho Chi Minh in Vietnamese.  There was yet another line, the camera and cell phone check. Bryan was not happy about leaving the cameras but luckily we didn't encounter any problems. After seeing Ho Chi Minh's body, his house, his cars, and the presidential palace we went back to our hotel to eat breakfast and pack up. Because we decided to stay in Hanoi longer we had to change hotels, ours was booked solid.  So we moved across the old quarter. After moving and downloading photos it was time to check out the gourmet cuisine in Hanoi. We headed to the Brothers Cafe which is a restaurant set in the rear courtyard of a restored 250 year old Buddhist Temple.  The setting and the food were a perfect break from the intense heat and humidity.  Our next stop of the day was the Hoa Lo Prison Musem, it was known as the Hanoi Hilton during the Vietnam War.  By the late afternoon we had just enough time to take a moto taxi and make it to the Museum of Ethnology which is located on the edge of the city.  At sunset we came back to the old quarter and walked around Hoan Kiem Lake.  The wine, the fish, the beef, the seafood, and the spring rolls were mouthwatering at Nam Phong, an elegant villa  where we listened to traditional Vietnamese music while dining in style.
