Today we drove along Highway 1 which pretty much follows the South China Sea and through some knarley mountains. We talked at lunch with a Viet vet in our group and asked him about his feeling. He said it was weird to travel this highway because it was a major sight of fighting during the war.
A stop was made at a marble statuary "factory". This lady is doing some final sanding on this piece of pink marble. An english speaking employee told betsy the pieces are mostly made at a factory somewhere else. I picked out the table and stools below. Without asking me where I lived a sales person told me I could buy it and have it shipped for $2200. Sounded pretty cheap. But no sale.
Didn't even think of buying this guy
Really hot so had Huda beer with lunch. Love it.
Did a walking tour of the imperial palace. I love the way it has weathered over time.
Below are a mother and child on a motorbike. Many of the women cover all their skin when outdoors. To be beautiful, you must be white. It was about 90 degrees this day and most young women wore face covering, long sleeves and many had hoods on their shirts. It was also common for their hands to be covered. Some still wore the face covering at night just to filter the air.
This girlies a university student visiting the palace. She had a decorative face covering with a teddy bear on it
In our hotels, betsy always got the long robe!
