Today we woke up to rain.  We had a tour booked through the hotel to view the Linh Ung Pagoda and visit Marble Mountain.  We looked at the weather forecast and decided to delay our pickup time from 10 am to 11 am.  To kill the extra hour we walked about 10 minutes to a mini-mart to buy some snack food. We came back with a bag of cashews.  Once again they were cashews with the skin or hull on them like Spanish peanuts.  

At 11 am it was getting sunny and very warm and humid.  We found it quite warm at the pagoda but even worse climbing up the steps of Marble Mountain.  The stone block steps were uneven and wet and at times very steep.  We definitely got our exercise today in the humid heat.
