After a great tour of the Imperial City, we boarded our cyclos for a brief ride through the city to the Perfume River dock for our cruise to the Thien Mu Pagoda.

Thanks very much Joe. We got a kick out of seeing Santa in the 90 degree heat!

Another nice series. Those drivers of your cyclos must have very strong legs.

So is it true that your wife is a better photographer than you??

Very nice pictures - as always with your very interesting posts! Just curious though - were you a teacher in your previous life?
Cheers JohnR

Thanks very much John. As well as being a clinician and administrator for 35 years, one of my favorite things was teaching. Some of the greatest joy I got in my career was seeing a young resident perform a procdure I taught flawlessly. After I retired from active practice, I spent about 5 years lecturing and writing on minimally invasive surgery which was my area of expertise. The only "A" I got in 4 years as an undergraduate at Harvard was in a course called English N - public speaking and it served me well.

Outstanding once again, Mark. With the price of gas, we soon may all be "motivating" as they did.

Another well done set Mark.

Also, I can relate to your comment about teaching. Over my 35 year career as an aerospace engineer and engineering manager, I mentored many "fresh-out" young engineers and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I also taught a couple of formal in-house classes to new groups of engineers which I also enjoyed. I am currently in my 15th year of teaching part time at the university level. I thought I would do it for 3 or 4 years, but I'm still enjoying it.
