Saigon

While Helen and Tony climbed the Cu Chi tunnels and explored the maize of waterways that comprise the Mekong delta we have seen a few local sights and undertaken an intensive investigation of markets.
Outside the Opera House
The Rex Hotel where we enjoyed "The Follies" Drinks but without the briefing to journalists. This was as close as some of the journalists got to the war and they reported from this rooftop after the afternoon briefing and drinks.
 

Gail at the Post Office. Note the picture of "Uncle Ho" on back wall. There were hundreds of pre school children on excursions to post a letter to Santa Clause. Wonderful!

Drinks at the Rex Hotel.
 
Robert interacting with the local fingernail girls!

The Saigon Notre Dame Cathedral. Lots of French influence remains!
