This and that...

Here are a few miscellaneous pictures from Ho Chi Minh City

Everyone rides motorbikes or bicycles, there are very few cars and there are no lines to stay in. It seems kind of a free for all when you are driving.

They don't have car seats for children. All the children ride with their parents on the motorbikes. They make it work.

Lots to balance on this motorbike.

Molly took some of us to the street food market with her to see what it was like. The fruits and vegetables were so colorful. Molly does most of her regular shopping at the grocery store as they won't give her a good price unless she has a Vietnamese friend with her.

Had to capture these frogs all tied together so they don't jump away, but for a good price you can take as many as you want home to cook and eat.

This is the alley for one side of the market. People drive their motorbikes all up and down it.

I didn't take any pictures of the meat market, not very appetizing. I guess all these dried fish aren't that appealing either.

One of the mornings our team visited the Cu Chi tunnels which are an immense network of connecting underground tunnels used by the Viet Cong guerrillas as hiding spots during the war. We were smiling in this picture getting ready to go into one of the tunnels, but not so smiley after coming out. After almost having to crawl 20 meters through one of these tunnels where it was dark and hot I don't have any idea how the Vietnamese did it.  They say there was over 18,000 Vietnamese who lived throughout the tunnels.

The guys had an opportunity to shoot AK-47, M30, and M80 Assault Rifles as they have a shooting range available to tourists. They were pumped!!

I love Dennis' face here. He has the look of a guy who means business.

Here we are getting ready to try Pho (sounds like Fa), which is a popular dish here. It is a Vietnamese noodle soup, usually served with beef or chicken. The soup includes noodles made from rice and is served with Asian basil, mint leaves, lime and bean sprouts that are added to the soup by whoever is eating it. It was just okay for us.

One more picture that we all had a good laugh at...

These kinds of wires (whatever they are-power, telephone, cable) look like this all over the city. How do they figure out what goes to what???

Okay, I promise tomorrow is the last day of pictures from this trip - Hong Kong. Thanks for sticking with me.
