A day in Vietnam

It is our first real full day in Vietnam. We start with breakfast. You have so many choices but essentially it boils down to two.

Vietnamese

And the other.

American

All of my friends that know me well know which one I selected.

Outside of the breakfast place is the meeting room for the Vietnamese chapter of the Mulligans. Here is their gong.

Can you believe it.

The group decided to go on a walking tour. Marky Mark was our tour guide. Here is the group getting ready.

Marky mark is on the right

First stop was a bank. We needed dong. That is Vietnamese currency.

You need a lot of dong!

Then we walked. On our way to the post office we came across a bear. He was lonely so I came to give him a hug.

She was huggable!

Then it was on to the post office.

Here is the opera house and a picture of the princess and me.

Then we went to a gallery that our friend bill recommended.

Then for lunch we stopped by a place. Best craft brewery in Ho Chi Minh City.

The gang is all here. Heart of Darkness

One last stop. The Heineken sign drew us in. But you could also pick your lunch from a large selection of sea food.

The afternoon was going to be special. First let me introduce you to Tank. He was here for the war. It is a special trip for him.

Then we all got into cyclos. They were special. The princess led the way.

Boulders should get these!

Let’s see if you like the video!

Next stop was the Vietnamese version of Sprouts. All fresh and ready to eat!

Then on to our restaurant where we would cook our own dinner. Here are a few pictures.

To close out dinner Mikey had an egg coffee.

What a fun filled day. Now a shower and bed. It was 80 degrees but north of 80 on the humidity index. Not Arizona weather!

See you tomorrow.

Good night!
