By the Red River

On the other side of the dyke road that separates the Tay Ho area from the Red River, is the countryside; it is full of small fields with vegetables and flowers and houses with only one storey. Today we went to have lunch at Tre Place, a couple of kilometers north from our house along the river.

At least a couple of flowers on an otherwise quite grey day.

Initially we planned for a nice stroll along the fields and the river, but almost immediately Kai got terribly tired and just couldn't walk, had to be carried. When he felt two little raindrops on his cheeks there was nothing more to do about it but take a taxi. Miraculously, his strenghts returned almost straight away, when he saw the swing at Tre Place's playground. Oh, the wonders of kids...
