Isn't this post Hue over due?

Get it? The title is a pun on a town in Vietnam. You pronounce is h-ay. Exhale on the "h" friends and say "-ay". I guess it doesn't matter how you say it. I won't be there to see you/correct you. We haven't posted about our Tet trip and our adventures in Hue and Hoi An. Well.....time slips a-hue (get it???) when you are busy/coaches of a soccer team/reading novels/not doing your taxes/etc. I haven't been that enthusiastic about writing a post. Who is reading these posts any way? Family members and spammers. Shout out to the family members....holla! Thank you for your support. Anyway.....let us go back to February when I was supposed to post this............ Jeff's Uncle Jon was visiting us and his visit coincided with Tet.  You've read about that.
We ventured off to the ancient city of Hue.  The last king's of Hue gave their name to most of the Vietnamese, Nguyen.  They took the name in honor of the king who the people liked.  The history of the last king in Hue and their relationship with France is quite interesting to read about.

  Jeff is trying to fit into the Vin Moch tunnels. The tunnels were used by villagers during the Vietnam war. It was awful. They had to live in there during the war. Jeff and I could both barely stand up and Jon's claustrophobia flared up too badly for him even to attempt the tunnels. I don't blame him. I hated every second I had to spend in the tunnels and it wasn't even close to the amount of time other people had to spend during the war. Yech.



We went to Hue to see the Imperial City. It was so cool. We got to dress up as Emperores and Empress. I really loved this part. I think everyone did as evidenced by our epic photo shoot:

In a word: awesome.  If you go to Hue, visit the Imperial City and have your very own photo shoot.
