Last Day in Vietnam

Nga and Truc in front of the  high school that Nga and our RC student Lan went to. We got to learn about the Vietnamese educational system.

We were fortunate enough to have our tour guide (Nga) back again for this last day in Vietnam plus another one of Lan's friends, Truc, who joined in as well and took us on quite a tour. They were just great and we really appreciated getting to see Vietnam through their eyes. We were able to take them out to lunch to thank them for all of their time and it was a real treat!  We visited Nga and Lan's high school in central Saigon, and also the War Remnants Museum nearby.  It was both interesting and disturbing to see the Vietnam war portrayed from their perspective.  We got back to the ship in the mid afternoon and sailed back out the Saigon River early the next morning (Nov. 8)
