Today, we went to the Independence Palace. It was amazing to see areas and relics up close and personal… a history textbook come to life. The palace is huge: complete with four floors and a basement.
Later, Brenna, Kristina, and I decided to take a walk in the city. A few block from from the hotel, we went to Tao Dan Park. The flowers in the park were gorgeous! My favorite part was the lily pad section. Something interesting I found, that I did not know about, was that the parks here have public exercise equipment, like an elliptical and bicycle made out of metal. I think it is a great idea to give access to free exercise equipment in the parks in order to promote healthier lifestyles.
