Sweet relief

I arrived in Hue around noon today and learned that the weather here is notoriously bad compared to the rest of Vietnam. Bad is relative, however, as I am totally relishing the cooler temps. It was actually misty today and the sun was hidden behind the clouds as I walked around town. There's a big citadel here and various buildings around it to check out. There's also a supermarket that I'm looking forward to exploring... only I would include a supermarket on the list of must-sees. It was a pretty slow day here as a lot of businesses are still closed for Tet, but one of my favorite sights of the day was these two novice monks on a bicycle. Cute.
