Bao Quoc Pagoda

Walked around this working Buddhist temple this morning and then headed over to the surrounding markets. A little exercise before spending the rest of the day at the pool.

While at the pagoda, near disaster almost ensued.  As we were exiting, Frank was a half-step away from walking headlong into a giant wood spider.  This spider isn't venomous, but it is as big as your hand, and would have easily covered Frank's whole face.  Luckily, Lisa pulled Frank out of the way at the very last second.  Remember the Brady Bunch episode when Peter finds a tarantula in his hotel bed in Hawaii?  We had the Vietnamese version!
