Yep! The Hanoi Hilton. I was told picture taking was not allowed along this street where the only entrance to the compound is located, and cars were
not allowed to stop. I gave our guide (watchdog) $20 and jumped out for just enough time to take the picture.
The prison has since been torn down except for this portal and a small museum. Times do change.
This is what it looks like now. (image off of the net)
I should do a full report on this trip. Truly amazing. At that time very few Americans were going to this part of Vietnam.
