Julie & Mike - Day Minus 1 (Cont'd)

Better late than never - some snaps from a couple of days ago came through.

Maybe Mike got stuck in one of those underground caves he was talking about.

Man, that does look like a tight fit. And it looks like Mike is thinking the same thing....

Here Mike is in front of a dang dung sign.

From what I was able to make out, in Vietnam you have to stand in front of this sign whenever you make a mistake.

"Oops, I dang dung it again!" Ba da bing!

Okay, work with me people.

So I Googled it this time. Actually I think this is their hotel.

"The Dang Dung Hotel offers value-for-money accommodation in central Ho Chi Minh City. A convenient stopover point for guests exploring Vietnam."

Perfect.

Recent Cover of "Today's Modern Solider"I'd forgotten that the Green Beret used to wear short-shorts.

"Hmmm, I Wonder What's In There; Let's Go See"From a chapter of "What could possibly go wrong?...."

Julie on a boat in the Mekong Delta.

That name brings back memories. A lot has changed in 40 years......

But now, as Mike relates;

"By bus we crossed the Mekong Delta and on up into the mountains right on the Cambodian border. Tomorrow we hop a plane to somewhere [Ed. note: good attitude] to start the biking part. Can hardly wait.

Just eating, busing and getting fat. Got a great guide keeping us informed. Very interesting. Poor here but clean, happy and proud. Awesome place.

Climbed a mountain where they are just finishing the worlds largest Buddha and from where we could see a big chunk of the Delta where lots of folks live on and around the river."


Okay, guys, good luck tomorrow. Wherever that is.....
