So Hue and central Vietnam are in good order-- for the lowdown check out the album on my photo site "Hue/Central" with captions. Saw the old citadel (Hue was the capital of VN from 1802 to 1945), some fabulous Nguyen dynasty tombs (despite Khai Dinh apparently having taken some serious hate due to his being France's bizatch), the former DMZ (including these sick Vinh Moc tunnels where people would hang out for years!), and really pretty springs just south of Hue as well.
Mom arrived yesterday morning just 15 mins before Air Force One and despite the 6+13+1 hr flights was up and about for the whole day stopping off at the Temple of Literature, Old Quarter, and Truc Bach lake (where I live).
Am tired and need to wake up early tomorrow for another one of the killer (9.30am-9pm) teaching days and am going to Sa Pa tomorrow night on the overnight train with mum but will try to post from there with some interesting stuff.
Just a month til I'm back in NY! Will be very sad to leave but very happy to see everyone!
