Da Lat


We went to DaLat for two reasons. 1) Da Lat By Night was a great restaurant when I was a kid. 2) We met a nice girl who grew up in Da Lat and she said that it was beautiful. 


Women are carrying everything around with them. And these things are heavy. The men aren't doing the heavy lifting... they are drinking coffee and smoking. And driving motos. 


Da Lat is the Paris of Vietnam. They even have an Eiffel Tower. 



I discovered a new love: iced coffee with sweetened condensed milk. Best treat ever!


We followed the map to get to the gondola. The map was wrong. But we are smart and eventually found it. However we took so long to get there that it was closed for lunch. For 2 hours. 


When the gondola opened up again it began raining. And we shared our little swinging carriage with a Russian couple who liked to move around and make the whole thing swing unpleasantly.  


We went to a pagoda and it rained. We walked a long way to a lake and it rained. 


And it rained.  


We saw this gorgeous lake and it rained. 



And we were over being outside in the rain. So we went back to our amazing hotel and had a nap. Probably.
