We weren't sure how we were going to execute this day. It turned out fabulous. After a nice breakfast, we walked to the harbor and arranged for a boat for the day. For $50 we had a boat and a driver for 7 hours. He took us down the Perfume River to see Thien Mu Pagoda and 3 tombs: Tu Duc Tomb, Khai Dinh Tomb, and Minh Mang Tomb. All very different but our favorites were the last two. Our boat driver had his mom on board to assist and she made us lunch. Fantastic, much better than in the restaurant. How she pulled it off right there in the boat is a miracle. After the pagoda we were on land and traveled via chauffeured motorcycles to see two tombs. That was a thrill. At the end of the day we were walking back to the hotel and were stopped by two university students who had an assignment to talk to foreigners and practice English. They have been studying English for 3 months: "How old are you?" "Where do you work" etc. They are so tiny! We stopped at a coffee shop and got blueberry smoothies to finish off the day.
Just want to shout out that today is our 38th anniversary! We are still having fun, and Tom is still the one!
