Walking the Long Bien
Built 1903 by Gustave Eiffel, the Long Bien bridge managed to survive the heavy bombings of the American War and still connects Hanoi with the neighborhoods on the other side of the Red River. Today it is a motor bike and train bridge but this weekend they closed it for traffic during the Long Bien Arts Festival. The whole bridge became a wonderful pedestrian area, so needed in Hanoi, and you could even get down for a stroll among the corn fields on the river banks. We stayed until late.

Hi Anna, hope you are alright and your family as well. The hot season in Zambia is at its peak (?) and we are bathing both day and night. Wonderful bridge on the above pictures. Mr Eiffel was very productive, I remember from our years in Mozambique that he build a couple of houses there as well. Vi hörs, Theodor
