Well, just as quite a few others have said, I’m not sure what to do on my free day in Vietnam! The Notre Dame Cathedral stood out to me when Ms. Pham suggested it in the itenerary and I’m glad I looked into it a little.
For starters, the building is beautiful. But another thing that really intrigued me was the rumor that the Virgin Mary statue shed tears in October 2005. Although refuted by the Vietnam Catholic Church, the statues remains famous while visitors stop here in hopes of witnessing a miracle.
I really think I will have to find time for this on my free day. I also like that visiting the Cathedral won’t take up an entire day because it is in Ho Chi Minh and you can stop by in a leisurely manner. Most every other site I researched requires long tours and quite a bit of travel time. I would like to save time to just enjoy the city on my free day and not have a fully-booked schedule.
