Greetings from Saigon which is feverishly preparing for Tet, the Lunar New Year. The Year of the Dragon will be celebrated beginning on January 23 and streets are already hung with yellow flowers which glow and flutter above the swirls of motorized bicycles.Yesterday the spa and pool were heaven after the long journey from San Francisco. I did a short walkabout and scoped out the Continental Hotel - a rendezvous for the press corps in wartime along with The Rex Hotel. But the day was hot and humid and the pool beckoned. Today a cooking class will be followed by some serious exploration. TTFN
