Hi All,
Actually it was afternoon when we landed in Saigon. On the way to our hotel we got to see the Post Office built by the French in the late 19th century.
The French also built Notre Dame cathedral about the same time.
The roof line of this old building may look familiar to folks. This was one of two buildings where the US evacuated people by helicopter at the end of the war.
On our way to dinner we passed a high end seafood store. The lobster was 3,000,000 Vietnamese Dong per kilo or $62 per pound🙀.
On a brief orientation walk after dinner we passed City Hall, built by French in 1901.
Another French building, the Opera House.
Some folks in our group remembered Red Nose Day!
Love,
Sandy & Carl
