Hue city. Feb. 1

Dinner was at Les Jardins De la Carambole. Very good except that the steak pieces were tough. It was in a cream gravy. With many mushrooms. The Resturant was filled with all tourist. Duy was not pleased with the beef and told the owners. He has promised us good meat. There was also fish offered. From now,on, I will only order the fish if we have a choise. We had a musical group of six people play for,us. They used the Vietnamese instruments. The group were,pleased,that they only sang for 1/2 hour. I was afraid it would last the entire dinner.
Salad with mini eggs. Citrus dressing


Sea bass


Tough beef with gravy. We made a big mistake ordering this. Duy was mad as this was not good.


Chocolate cake with coconut ice cream


Citadel - Imperial Citadel. Housing the Forbidden Purple city when the emperors once lived. house of the kings from 1800-1946. Very much like the Forbidden City on China.






















Rickshaw rides in the rain.






People on motor scooters. Notice how their ponchos cover the scooter.


Walk thur a market. Same as in India, Morroco but seemed even more noisy, crowded and dirty. Also the rain was coming thur the roof. All the floors were wet. The smells from the meats and spices terrible. It is overload in sensory
experience.


















Organ meats. They eat every part of an animal.


The face masks that everyone wears. After our rickshaw ride, I can see one reason to wear it. The fumes from the gasoline was terrible. But in reality, the mask does not keep,that out. They also wear it to keep from getting tans on their bodies.





Walk back to the hotel.


You pay to park the scooter. People put their scooters in their business and in the houses.


Hundreds, thousands of schooters.
