Our nanny and her husband took us on a quick tour of District 1 (downtown) today. We got to see many of the popular sights of Saigon. The French influence in the downtown area is quite evident, and the traffic is nauseating--thank goodness our nanny's husband is a professional driver!

| The HCMC post office. Beautiful. There were people selling their wares all through the building. The top right picture is of the nanny holding Oliver. She is wonderful! |
 |
| A replica of Notre Dame built when Viet Nam was a French colony. Every single brick was brought from Marseilles, France. The building opened in 1880 and even has beautiful stained glass windows (again imported from France). |
 |
| Wandering around downtown. There are many beautiful gardens amongst the chaos of the streets. |

Left: Diving here is an adventure. Oragnized chaos is the best description... It's crazy.
Center: These girls asked to take a picture of us. We had the nanny snap one too. People love the boys' hair.
Right: Ben Thanh Market. I was very overwhelmed, but it was exciting! We'll have to go back without the kids. |
