Bangkok & Vietnam

Bangkok & Vietnam

Learning in Retirement, University of Wisconsin/LaCrosse, sponsored this trip to Vietnam via Bangkok. We visited not only the traditional, historic, and cultural sites, but also The University of Hanoi, small villages, a school, and a hospital. Of course we also toured war sites such as the DMZ, Hanoi Hilton, Gulf of Tonkin, and China Beach. Throughout the tour we enjoyed the local cuisine. (See also Vietnam Parts II and III).
