There is some doubt that Elvis is dead and some have spotted him in downtown Memphis and in Las Vegas. There is NO doubt that Ho Chi Minh is dead because I saw his corpse lying in state myself this morning. I especially enjoyed the air conditioned quarters reserved for him since the weather is warm and muggy. I did enjoy the museum which gave a different slant on history, especially the "American War" which they won as I recall. A very satisfying tour.
Spent most of the afternoon bicycling in Hanoi traffic. It is a lot like bungy jumping from a high bridge, or at least how I visualize this sport being. The safest way to ride is to never look back and use your periferal vision as little as possible. I saw a lot of school kids manuvering quite well, so, I figured I could do the same.
I also dropped by to see the "B52 Museum" which is a fragment of a B52 bomber that crashed into a neighborhood during the war. I got a picture.
Tomorrow (Monday) we leave Hanoi and hit the roads in the open country.

Hey Uncle Joel! You've inspired me to dust off my bike and start riding again! I hope your trip continues to be blessed, and keep blogging!
