Eating WELL in Saigon

Part I
It turns out that pho lives both indoors and out, but the rain in Vietnam was light and infrequent enough not to interfere too much with the all important eating.  We in fact only had a couple of meals in sit down restaurants in Vietnam -- the good stuff could be found most anywhere, and cost around 2 US dollars.  Most impressive, I think, were the bahn mi sandwhiches, made with french bread that tasted just-baked, even after midnight.  We never did spot a bakery, however, so the source of this freshness is still a mystery.

Thankfully, pho lives indoors

The thick fog that descended on Alamo square tonight seemed like a good indicator that our trip far far away was coming at a pretty good time. I sort of liked the idea of a misty kiss farewell--one for the road as we escape, for a bit, to a sunnier part of the world.

Google weather wasted no time adding a dose of reality.
