Went to 'My Son' today

Not my actual son ( I am Barron! No just kidding , virile as a bull) haha but it's a place where there are temples that date back to the 4 th century! Old stuff. It was really interesting, but sad that more than half of it was destroyed by bombs in the Vietnam war! ( like the monks were a threat?!) anyways it was crazy, these red brick stone buildings were built with no mortar! So totally just brick upon brick, it's like a jigsaw puzzle. Other countries are involved in restoring this world heritage site as well, Germany has restored one area and Italy is restoring another. It's really cool. And guess who we bumped into again! Vanessa and Will. We first met these guys in Brunei, then happened to bump into them on the Cu Chi Tunnels here in Vietnam. ( they were in the tour in front of us) Then 1000 kms away again...
Then at Hoi An on the street, then today at the "My Son" tour, so we're going out to dinner with them tonight , should be good
