Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City) Feb. 7, 2024

Our cruise ship docked at Hiep Phuoc, on the Soai Rap River. We and others took a tour of city sights with Binh arranged by TourwithXuan. Probably the highlight of Howard's day was finding a picture and story board about the USS Constellation, on which he served during the Vietnam War. It was hanging in Saigon's War Remnants Museum.

We were in Saigon the next day as well. I went on a great adventure. See the next gallery!
