last few days in NAM

We kept pretty busy our last few days in Saigon. We went to a few cool galleries and visited Julies school. We went to the Independance Palace which basically unchanged since the the South gave up the war effort in the 70's. It's shockingly well taken care of compared with other museums in the country. The best part was the bunker in the basement. It had a very surreal quality. It reminded me a lot of the red room in twin peaks.

We ate a HUGE amount of food at the amazing local vege restaurant (we went three times).  Tons of great mock meat, good soup, fresh rolls and all kinds of other goodies.  All of it is so cheap. Our last meal cost like 12 bucks for three people to pig out until we were literally sick. I'm shocked how well we ate here. I was eating at least 2 Bah Mi's a day. I think I put on some weight.
