I didn't really do much of anything today. I slept in super late and then sat around some more. The one thing that I did do today was go to the West Lake and walk around both the lake and the pagoda there. I got a green bean ice cream bar, which was surprisingly delicious and super refreshing for the humid day. We were walking around the lake when we saw a monument on the bank. It caught my eye because the right panel said USAF.
I got one of our roommates to translate the left panel, and this is the jist of what it said: On this day in October 1967, the Vietnamese people and soldiers captured an American Air Force Major. I guess this is a monument commemorating the shooting down and capturing of John McCain.
