One of our lasting memories of Vietnam will be the sugar cane juice that is sold by street vendors for .20-.25 cents! It is super cold and filled with ice so it is very refreshing on those 35 degree C days after bombing around Vietnam on our bikes taking in the sights. When you come to Vietnam don't miss it! We are now in HCMC and on our last few days of the trip. Today we will see the "Reunification Palace", the "War Remnants Museum" and the famous Ben Thanh Market in District 1. Last night we had a raucous dinner at the Ngoc Suong Restaurant... serendipitously...we were attracted to the chaos... it was described as "the place that well-to-do Saigonians would recommend for the best seafood in the city".... I thought maybe there was a wedding going on as we passed by, but it was just the regular wednesday night crowd of families and boisterous outings with friends. We were intrigued to see the buckets of ice cold beer that they bring to the tables full of cans consumed during the meal. So many things to see when you are a stranger in a strange land. Ciao--BTM
