We had a three day weekend in honor of the first kings of Vietnam (Hmong, I think...), so Sarah and I traveled to the village of Tam Dao with some of our students and our friends Lily and Rosy. In the past, Tam Dao was used a resort area for the French when they wanted to get away from the heat and humidity of Hanoi. Since Tam Dao has fewer cars and motorbikes than Hanoi, for me it was a great place to escape from the smog.

We all had a great time hiking to a waterfall, exploring an empty house, and walking along a river. My favorite part of the weekend was the bonfire! That was one of the things I missed most about being in Hanoi during Autumn in the States.
