What is it about city skylines that always gets our attention? I took one on arrival and one at night from our Sofitel Hotel room on the 15th floor.
This huge chair was great for looking out over the city. The birdcages has small lights in them and could be used for night lights. I thought that was cool. I put the hotel sign in here to help me remember. The elephant was part of the outside decor at the entrance to the lobby.
Next two are scenes from our walking tour of downtown. One is of a government building and the next is just one of the many ways the city and surrounding countryside was getting all dressed up for the New Year celebrations in February.
We, our group and about a million, not really, school children toured the former presidential palace. We say conference rooms, offices and personal living spaces.
Lunch was at a noodle soup shop made famous because Bill Clinton ate there in 2000. We and I am sure he had a nice lunch of Pho.
This evening, before another wonderful family style dinner, we saw a water puppet show. The mechanics of the show were fascinating.
The sad part for me anyway was that not understanding the language we couldn't follow the stories being told. It would have been nice to have a program explaining each scene.
So, there it is, a day in Saigon.
Back with more again soon.
Take care and stay cozy!
