After we got off the train, we went to our hotel to drop our luggage off and then walked to a restaurant for breakfast. It was set up like an old Vietnam war restaurant. Old Jeeps, camouflage, and other artifacts.

We did a bus tour of the city and ended up at the Imperial Citadel, then off to a Royal Tomb and also the Tien Mu Pagoda.

This guy was a great carving/statue

A world away, a very different life.

The Citadel and Pagoda – there are so many of these large and sometimes colorful or ornate buildings, in between older or run-down areas, but I guess that is true for many historical places. I had heard of that monk that set himself on fire. The bright blue car was a surprise to see … it looks in perfect condition but was it always that color? I guess he was far enough away from the car to not damage it when he set himself on fire.
