Eating "Italian" tonight

We are at a place called ZanZbar tonight and we are eating sort of

Visiting Ben Thanh market in Ho Chi Minh City

We came there just in time as it started pouring down right after we parked the bike. But we needed some time there to look around anyway...and to eat some lunch. We had a local dish called Pho. Here is Kate - our local guide in HCMC. Thanks for taking us around Kate...and even on your birthday :-)
