I think we will have buy more goodies


Today we visited the Imperial City, also called the Citadel.  The King is the only one that can wear yellow, so there can't be 3 kings.   Look how young King Bao Dai was.  He also was the last king of Vietnam.  There was heavy fighting and damage done to the Citadel during TET of 1968.  A lot of reconstruction has been done as this is a big tourist attraction.


Tomorrow we head down to Da Nang.  I hope it is not raining there like it has been here.  We would like to just relax and enjoy China Beach for a day.  We will also visit Marble Mountain


See you tomorrow.
