One Night in Saigon...
After 26 hours of traveling, we finally made it to Vietnam (you can read the blog entry for 7.28.07). Our hotel for the first night is the Novatel Garden Plaza; it's really nice, but a little pricey (luckily we're only here for one night). We thought we'd be back to explore this famous city, but we found out that this is the only night we're staying here. As a result, we decided to brave a stroll through the local neighborhood before we went to the airport and flew out to Da Nang. Here are some of the pictures of our travels, our hotel and Saigon.
Clickable enlargements of pictures will be added later; our internet bandwidth is too slow to upload big files.

The surrounding mountains reminded us of Hawaii |

At 5am, a marching band woke us up outside our room |
Since we were awake, we took more pics of the city |
