War Remnants Museum January 17

Friday January 17th

We decided to call Arthur,(our Buddha Guide) and ask for help. He came to our rescue and took us to another hotel, which was very nice. He told us he couldn't spend any time with us as he had to leave Saigon to go to another town to do some work. 

After we setteled into our new hotel, we went to the War Remnants Museum. It was a very moving experience.

The kind of tank that Jon was in charge of during his tour.








A young man from Texas (28 years old) over heard Jon talking to us about his experience in Vietnam and came over and "Thanked" Jon for his service to our country. 




We didn't take many pictures inside the museum. The museum was divided into different sections with each section dedicated to a different aspect of the war. There were displays of materials, guns, uniforms, armaments, etc, and many moving photographs.

Another vegetarian meal! After lunch we went back to our hotel.




Flowering trees in Saigon.





A view from our new hotel.  An ending to another great day.
