2016 San Jose - San Francisco
Saturday and Sunday, September 3 and 4, 2016, Bay Area, CA
We come to San Jose to attend Lee's High School Reunion. The Hong Duc High School is in Da Nang, Viet Nam, a school Lee had attended in the early 1970s. Over 40 years later, the school's former students from all over the world reunite every few years. This year the event is held in San Jose where a large number of Vietnamese Americans reside.
We arrived yesterday, and will tour the City of San Jose today (Saturday), San Francisco tomorrow (Sunday), attend the reunion tomorrow night, then head back to Dallas-Fort Worth on Monday.
Here are a few pictures of our short trip.
