Cu Chi tunnels and Cao Dai Temple

---

We took a one day trip out to Cao Dai Temple and the Cu Ch tunnels - and what an interesting trip! The tunnels are tiny! We were on our hands and knees crawling through with the roof of the tunnels just millimeters above our backs. Add minimal, red lighting, and soaring temperatures and you have a recipe for an attack of claustrophobia!

Cao Dai Temple
Three religions are practiced here at the same time! There are Catholics, Cao Dai-ists, and Buddists in the same service!

Cao Dai in service
The Catholics are in red, Cao Dai-ists are in yellow, and Buddists in blue robes! Your status in the temple determines how far forward you can sit

Surprise!
These trap doors were used to surprise the American soldiers. The lid is next to Nat on the floor - can you see it?!
