Uncle Ho's Resting Place..IMG_1434_1.JPG

This is Uncle Ho's tomb...Unfortunately, I have never gotten to see him because every year about this time they ship him off to Russia to have his embalming/preservation touched up.. Don't look too closely as they had large canvas tarps draped over much of the front of this thing and I had to remove them with photoshop.

A funny thing happened to me while I was trying to get around this thing to take a couple shots. I was just walking along when this armed soldier started yelling at me to stop.. Not knowing what was wrong I turned to him and shrugged my shoulders. He just said "go around".. I started heading off in the same direction again and he starts yelling again.. finally I figured it out. I was going clockwise instead of countercclockwise like everyone else. Typical commie BS.
