A Visit to the Zoo January 18

Saturday January 18th

We started the day off with breakfast at a local restaurant.

Pho a  vegetarian soup. Most people eat soup for breakfast.

After our breakfast we went to visit to the Saigon Zoo.

Waiting for the light to change. It was difficult getting across the streets.

The Siagon Zoo

We were not impressed on the care and living enivornments of the animals.

Elephants

A yellow python. He was over 8 feet long.

Trash can

Not a happy tiger.

Later in the day we went out to supper.

Our restaurant. 

Our waiter looked a lot like Jon.

A curry vegetable dish.

After supper we went back to our hotel and who should show up but our friend Arthur. He had been traveling for the past couple of hours back to Saigon from out in the country side and stopped to see us.

What an experience we had with him. He sat with us in our hotel room for over an hour and talked to us about Buddish and what it meant to be Buddist.

We are headed to the Mekong Delta tomorrow.  The easiest way to get to Phonm Penh from Saigon and to stop and see the sights along the way, is to take a tour. 

Arthur arranged the tour for us. We said Good NIght to our Buddist friend and said we would see him again in the near future.
