My first scooter ride in Saigon. Note: I was riding, not driving!
"Saigon Sam" was my Vietnam expert. He knows everything and everybody. Here, we stop at his favorite lunch spot for some mango salad. DEE-LISSHH.
Ya, mango salad with Sam and my first-ever iced coffee.
Nice views of the Saigon River from the rooftop bar at Hotel Majestic.

Scooters, scooters everywhere.
The night train to Hue.
My bunk on the train.
Rice patties? We saw 'em in Hue with Mr. Thanh. And yes, I'm on a new scooter.

The Citadel in Hue. Hue used to be the capital and still is a spiritual center for the country (more than 300 pagodas). Also, there are more than a dozen universities in Hue.
Think globally. Drink locally.
At the top of Bunker Hill, site of a strategic battle in the Vietnam War during the Tet Offensive in 1968.
Very nice ride on Vietnam Airlines.
