Saturday morning had a distinctly European elegance as Wendy introduced Bruna to the neo-Gothic silhouette of St. Joseph's Cathedral, often called Hanoi's 'Little Notre-Dame'. Strolling down Ly Quoc Su Street, the two stopped for traditional Vietnamese pho and an iconic cup of egg coffee, comparing notes between Marseille's bouillabaisse and Hanoi's bold broths. The morning closed beside Hoan Kiem Lake, where Bruna captured frame after frame of red bridges, willow trees, and t'ai chi practitioners.
