Day 1 - Wake up. Eat a chocolate pancake and one sausage. Try to see the dead guy.
Day 2 - Wake up. Eat a chocolate pancake and one sausage. Try to see the dead guy.
Day 3 - Wake up. Eat a chocolate pancake and one sausage. Finally get to see the dead guy.
Today we finally made it to Ho Chi Minh's mauseolum and it was a great adventure. It is probably the most visted site in the country, and it's quite a production. First, the guards wouldn't let baby Tyler in, yet other babies were permitted. Go figure. Then, the guards wouldn't let Dad take his walker in, they insisted that he ride in a wheelchair instead. This turned out to be a blessing - we got to short cut the long line. Our less-than-enthusiastic escort would stop us and show us where to take photos, where to stand.Then, we got to the mausoleum, four guards came over and they carried Dad's wheelchair up all the stairs into the mausoleum. The mausoleum was really well done, it was silent, dimly lit room, with just one light shining on Ho Chi Minh. It was very reverent.
I'd post photos but Randy is out sightseeing with my mom and dad and the camera. Although it's much milder day, the kids couldn't handle any more heat, so we're camped out in the hotel air conditioning.
