Marjorie at a Roadside Restaurant in Viet Nam1226 visualitzacionsWe just stopped by the side of the road, and this "restaurant" was in essentially a tent. We had a delicious meal, and didn't get sick. And then we go to La Mamounia in Morocco, pay a fortune for our room and meals, and get food poisoning. Ironic.%04 04UTC %393 04UTC %2006

Huey Helicopter at the Cu Chi Tunnels, Viet Nam3557 visualitzacionsThis old Huey UH-1 was at the entrance to the Cu Chi tunnels in Viet Nam. Our guide felt very awkward about this --- and I'd be surprised if it's still there.%04 04UTC %385 04UTC %2006

Nordkapp - North Cape - Norway1220 visualitzacionsThe midnight sun (photographed at midnight) from the most northerly part of Europe. "The North Cape was named by English explorer Richard Chancellor in 1553 when he passed the cape in the search for a Northeast passage. From then on, it was occasionally visited by daring explorers who climbed the steep cliff face to the plateau; famous visitors include King Oscar II of Norway in 1873 and Thailand's King Chulalongkorn in 1907. Today, the North Cape is a major tourist attraction."%04 04UTC %380 04UTC %2006

Cao Dai Temple, Viet Nam1066 visualitzacions"The central philosophy of Cao Daism pertains to the duty that the faithful perform for themselves, their family, society and the world at large. Much like Confucianism, this element of the Philosophy pertains to how the individual functions within the context of the community."%04 04UTC %370 04UTC %2006

Cao Dai Temple, Viet Nam1264 visualitzacions"Cao Dai actually means "palace or high tower", which is suitably apt. Built in 1927, the massive nine-story Cao Dai Temple is part cathedral and part pagoda. It is also a rude assault on your eyeballs."%04 04UTC %370 04UTC %2006

Cao Dai Temple, Viet Nam1241 visualitzacions"Indigenous to Vietnam Cao Dai is a fusion of the best from Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism, with Christianity and Islam thrown in for good measure. Cao Daoism was founded in Vietnam only as recently as the 1920's as the answer to the ultimate ideal religion and insists that its' earth-based intermediaries or messengers include such luminaries as William Shakespeare, Joan of Arc and Napoleon Bonaparte."%04 04UTC %225 04UTC %2006

Cu Chi Tunnels, Viet Nam1048 visualitzacions"The tunnels themselves are undeniably impressive. Throughout the war, the South Vietnamese Communists, or Vietcong, continually expanded the three-level network, which included mess halls, meeting rooms, an operating theater and even a tiny cinema."%04 04UTC %223 04UTC %2006

Marjorie and the Viet Cong in the Cu Chi Tunnels1199 visualitzacionsThe Cu Chi tunnels, a 75-mile-long underground maze where thousands of fighters and villagers could hide, are at the top of the list of tourist spots for Ho Chi Minh City. Marjorie was able to crawl through the lower levels (I'm too big). There was also this "photo op" spot, complete with fake rice bowls.%04 04UTC %221 04UTC %2006
