We made use of the whirlpool, hot tub, sauna, and gym. My body was happier. We also attended a lecture by the resident historian, Dr. Freedman - check out his work at scholaratsea.com. His lectures are well illustrated with excellent slides and full of amazing details. This one was about the history of Vietnam (there were two parts - Anne saw both - I saw the second) and focused on the Vietnam War and its aftermath. It was a painful reminder of that awfull period in my adolescent history, and the war’s impact on trust in our government.
We just attended his lecture with the title “The Mighty Mother Mekong,” which focused on the importance of the river on the lives of all those who live in Southeast Asia. We have just docked at the Saigon Pemier Container Terminal, and will be taking a tour of Ho Chi Minh City this afternoon.
