Vacation Day

Although first day of vacation we got up early to try and beat heat 😁

We said some more farewells at breakfast and then out sightseeing. Breakfast is a nice buffet with just about anything you could want, including selection of fresh fruit juices, nice cheeses and breads/pastries.  Plus usual eggs, bacon, waffles and of course Pho 😐





 First stop was the cathedral, which was open this time. Nothing fancy and ornate but beautiful in its simplicity.


In walking around saw number of school girls in Ao Dai, not sure why but nice to see younger generation in traditional dress.







Then onto Reunification Palace. Seems must be something on later today/night as parts closed off.




!

Hard to not remember seeing scenes of the last out in helecopters from roof of palace as Americans pulled out . . . .

Back to hotel to cool off a bit before headed out to dinner.  Vietnamese food is good but sometimes just need some Beef and fries


Then wandered down to market but they were closing up...saves lots
of money shopping when closed!!!!





Tomorrow meeting up with friend for English Mass and sightseeing - nice treat.
