It’s Julie’s birthday and we have a plan – at 5:00 PM we are to meet at the Sunset Bar to watch the sunset over the Mekong River before the famous establishment is demolished to make way for riverfront development. We all arrived at different times and every available chair was taken by 5:30 PM. The atmosphere was full of great energy, chatter, laughter and also sadness. Half of the building has already been taken down and the interior furnishings and décor are being sold to those who want them for the memories.
