Typical side street near the Cao Dai temple area. Just as I remember from 36 years ago. It's really interesting when you duck between the buildings and stalls, to the back alleys...

after a running fire fight, that was mostly running on my part, with about a dozen cowboys that'd decided they were VC that morning. I had ran into the labyrinth of 4' high walls, shacks, garden plots, and small yards when they split up and posted the intersections I'd have to go through to get back to the main gate at the ARVN base.

I think I've posted the story on a forum somewhere. Think I might try to dig it up.

The title is a link to the flickR photoStream this picture came from. There's a lot of pictures of the temple itself, inside and out, as well as the local people.
