Back to Baixa neighborhood for dinner with my HP partner.  Started at the Praca do Commercio (Commerce Square) where there was a beerfest going on under the statue!  Through the gate onto the Ru da Prata, where the shops were closing down but the outdoor restaurants were in full swing!  More people eating out on a Saturday night, and more street musicians keeping us entertained.

We walked up past the national theater on the Placa do Figuera (Figuera Square), found a restaurant and had another nice meal.

Both nights they bring out a plate of cheeses and bread, but you are only charged for those cheeses you open - very different then restaurants at home!

Tomorrow (Sunday) the real work begins....setup and rehearsal for our hp Press lectures and demonstrations!

Brian, Your trip is so much more refined than ours. Today on the bus back from Halong Bay, we saw horse drawn carts in the City of Hanoi! Oxen crossing the roads. Moto bikes and crazy bus drivers. Women still working in rice paddies with hoes-modern implements are few and far between. What a great trip you are going to have! Kjersten
