Burt's Trip to Hue, Vietnam ( pronounced way)



In the Ancient City of Hue, a Pagoda devoted to Buddha


Dragon Boat that I rode on, located on the perfume river

Typical of Vietnam, look at the girl with the yellow envelope, she is paying off the police so they won't "inspect"
 her boat, this happened twice in 15 minutes, it is bad enough the poor are poor, why make them poorer?

Boy was it hot here, 93F


My guide who spoke English, but try to understand him. Lunch was included on the tour
but my guide was not allowed to eat with me, he had to go to "the back of the bus."

Is there anything they cannot load on a motor scooter?

A wedding, a typical small wedding has 500 guests


I named this elephant "Lisa Myers"



A  ham radio vertical?
Not really a lightening rod to keep the Buddhas from being struck
If the Buddhas are God why do they need a lightening rod?
