The hospital around the corner.




On our list of things to do this trip was to find the hospital where Hadley was born. You aren't going to believe what we discovered. The hospital is located not 500 feet from our hotel and we have walked by it several times during our stay. I recall noticing the many pregnant women coming and going from the building.
We entered through this gate without any problems. Once I took my camera out we were promptly "shooed" from the area. I managed to get one shot inside the courtyard and it is the photo of the mural you see above. I am baffled at the many situations when we have been taking photos and been scolded by someone. Each time it has happened it has not involved taking photos of the people. I was a little annoyed by this man's persistence and I wish I could have explained to him that I believed we had a right to be there. It would do nobody any good if I was in a Vietnamese jail so we honored his request and left the premises.
