Continuing my quest to see every embalmed Communist dictator of the twentieth century, my travels brought me to see Hồ Chí Minh in Hanoi. Here are some snapshots from the trip…

The Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum…

In front of the Hanoi Opera House

That’s the “please take this hat off of me” face. Note: Iron grip of street vendor on arm.

With Hồ Chí Minh (and Andrea…and some random child)

Getting a little help cutting my food…


Checking in to the Hanoi Hilton…


Thang Long Water Puppet Theater. (Sounds better than it is…)


Ho Chi Minh Museum…
