A few photos from a ride to Tam Dao a couple weeks ago. Tam Dao, maybe two hours outside Hanoi, is on a mountain that was home to a French 'hill station' back in the day. Currently it is home to some tourist services, some waterfalls, and a lot of su su. That is chayote, and it is delicious - the leaves, the shoots, all of it. And Tam Dao is the place to go for it, it's got the brand all wrapped up, everybody in Hanoi knows where the best su su comes from. Most of the fields you see in these pictures are su su.
This last photo is from the road home, back down on the delta, among rice fields and some kind of beans, I guess, everything green!
