Day 3











We arrived safely, after checking into the Army Hotel and we had lunch at the Viet Kitchen family style. Then visited the old quarter for an hour long walk through narrow and winding streets. Many small shops with varieties of wares. It reminded me of historic Charleston. No big conglomerates here yet. We also learned how to cross the street. That is not easy or for the faint of heart. We were directed by our guide to "walk slow but just go." Motor scooters, bikes, cars and trucks are only inches (if that) from you. Some how you just make it. Truely it is amazing.
