Vietnam Update

Howdy,

Now in Ho Chi Minh City or as the locals (Southern Vietnamese) still refer to it as Saigon.  The Internet connectivity here is poor, surprisingly.  The hotel I am at is nice but the Internet rarely works.  I went to a cafe and it was faster but the computers are so old no need to even try to upload a photo.  I hired a taxi for the afternoon and went to see the tunnels the North Vietnamese used to infiltrate enemy lines.  I also went to the Reunification Palace.  It was been so interesting though not enough time this trip to take in many of the things I come to discover that would be very worthwhile to do...especially going into Cambodia.  I had incredible sweet and sour fish soup and this bar-b-que (spicy) beef dish that were out of this world a t a restaurant recommended by the Lonely Planet book..."Lemon Grass." Just a quick update to let you know all is well...photos to come on Friday or Saturday.  All the best.
