Visiting Hoa Lo Prison in Hanoi

July 7th, 2023

We arrived back into Hanoi for just a few hours before our train to Da Nang, so we got some delicious Banh Mi and Bao, right around the corner and then visited the Hoa Lo Prison, aka "Hanoi Hilton" by the American POW's. It was interesting, sad, sobering, and hopeful all at the same time. No matter what "side" you're on, war sucks, but there are moments of courage, bravery, hope and many lessons to be learned. . . .
