Hoa Lo Prison

Today we went to Hoa Lo Prison. It opened in 1896 and was built over a craft village. It was a place where thousands of patriots and revolutionaries were imprisoned and tortured. It's claim to fame is that it was where John McCain was imprisioned during the VietNam war.

We went to lunch at a place for the second time called quan an ngan. It is an open air restaurant with food stalls surrounding it. The food is good, relatively cheap and I tried a few things that sounded interesting an ended up being quite tasty. We met some people from Tokyo. Again we got lots of smiles and Pearl got lots of kisses from the locals.

We then came back to our hotel and gave the girls a bath. We all took naps since Pearl has been keeping us up at night and we were pretty tired.
