Mekong River Expedition January 30 – 31, 2014

From simple fishing villages to the mighty temples of
Angkor Wat, my Mekong River Expedition with my daughter, Kathy, proved to be very enlightening.
When our 18 hour flights landed us in Ho
Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon), there were 8 million people creating a HUGE traffic jam watching the fireworks over the Saigon River in honor of the Tet New Year.
Our Vietnamese breakfast of soup and noodles preceded the city tour which included the Cu Chi Tunnels, the Ho Chi Minh trail with booby traps, the King’s palace, St. Mary’s Cathedral and a modern high vaulted Post Office.
