          The good news was that we found a kids clothing shop and were able to buy Eli a hat that fit him. Katie really liked the little girl mannequin and even imitated her well.   |

          Another view of Hoan Kiem Lake and the infamous "Tortoise Tower" (we already posted pics  here). See page 2 for a pic of a preserved 550 lb tortoise.  | 
           
          These young boys were very friendly and had fun 
            practicing their English skills on us. They asked the typical questions; "Where you from?" and "How long you stay?"
