We checked in to the Sheraton Saigon after our stop at the market and were met by a very special welcoming committee. Their beautiful faces, sweet songs and bouquets for the ladies really made our day!

Sheraton Saigon Hotel And Towers is a luxurious 5-star property conveniently located only 4.3km (2.7mi) from the centre of Ho Chi Minh City. Guests of the hotel will have easy access to Ho Chi Minh City Hall, Ho Chi Minh City Museum and Saigon Notre-Dame Basilica. Reunification Palace, Ben Thanh Market and Mariamman Temple are also not far away.

For more images of Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City) and narratives, please see my previous post:

Wonderful set, Mark. Loved seeing the children lined up with the ladies of your tour. The last photo of Gail interacting with the girl was beautiful.

our"across the street" neighbours are a Viet family.

I said to the dad, Tran, on day that I have never seen a man work so hard, he replied . In my old country I work very had. like this, but could not afford food for my family".

I am so happy they came here to live, they are wonderful people.

Thanks so much for your comments dancers. They are really amazing people - especially those that escaped Communism and reaped the benefits of a free society.

That looked very special and like Gail was really enjoying it.

Back when I was managing a group of civilian engineers for the Navy doing in-service engineering support for the S-3 Viking aircraft, one of my engineers was a young Vietnamese lady electrical engineer. She was a hard working and talented EE and a joy to work with. One day when she was a young girl, she found herself in a boat off of the coast of Vietnam with her family; she was one of the "boat people." She ended up in Oregon initially, where she got her BS in EE and then she made it to the Bay Area.
