I have an appt. Bill said I had to be sponsored by a Vietnamese organization. So back to the VN Writer's assn. The Hilton Towers or Hanoi Towers now stands where once was the Hanoi Hilton. Sandy and I tried to visit the old prison but it opened in the afternoon.
Abject poverty is still at street level and very evident.
Today I fed an old woman and a young girl child. The vendors along this block are very friendly to me. Those who speak English want to visit. Still it is fun to walk down the street and have them smile or call out a greeting with a friendly wave. Made it to Sandy's by taxi.
