It was quite amazing how the ship maneuvered her way
through the narrow and meandering Saigon River
It felt a bit intrusive sailing past small huts like
these. The area surrounding the Saigon River was of the most
beautiful places I've experienced, and it was hard to believe that
the river led to a port.
The Vietnamese gave us a wonderful welcome. From the first
moment I stepped off the ship I was amazed at their kindness to me as
an American. I surely wasn't expecting it. So many people wanted to
meet me and talk to me and help me, and all I was expecting was
bitterness.
