    The last helicopter evacuating Americans from Saigon departed from the roof of the U.S. Embassy (now the American Consulate, Le Duan, the street you look down from the Palace balcony, and where the tanks rolled in from), not from the Palace. This event occurred in the early morning of April 30, 1975

      @BreakawayBravehearts Місяць тому

      Thanks @leoh4599 for the clarification. We appreciate your input greatly, this will help our viewers. Isn't it fascinating though to imagine the events of those days around the time of a nation departure?

  • @leoh4599
    @leoh4599 Місяць тому

    The black cross on the American markings on the Huey helicopter on the roof of the Independence Palace was apparently used to obscure or alter the original insignia. This was a common practice during the chaotic evacuation of Saigon to prevent opposing forces from identifying and targeting specific aircraft, as well as to indicate changes in ownership or operational status during the rapid evacuation process.

    Part of your video has been recorded in the Plaza de Oriente, with a couple statues of ancient Spanish Kings behind you. Can I tell you something about them? Plaza de Oriente is the place with more statues of kings in the world. They were sculpted for the facade of the royal palace, but Isabel de Farnesio, the mother of the king Carlos III, had a nightmare in which due to an earthquake those statues (they were 104!) fall down, killing his son Carlos, so she ordered to install them on the ground. Fourteen of them were taken to El Retiro, where you can see them at Paseo de las Estatuas.

      He vuelto a ver el vídeo para tener una idea de lo que os gusta visitar y poder aconsejaros. La comida en el norte es muy elaborada y fuerte, difícil decidir un plato específico y dependiendo del lugar la elección será diferente: Galicia, pulpo a la gallega y. Lacón con grelos Asturias, cachopo y fabada Cantabria, cocido montañes Euskadi, txipirones en su tinta y marmitako En cuanto a lugares específicos....para un turista sin duda las cuevas de Altamira, "la capilla sixtina del arte rupestre", podréis visitar una réplica de la cueva. Bilbao, San Sebastián, Santander..... Tal vez os cueste ver lugares con restos monumentales pero lo que hace especial al norte es su Naturaleza, donde todavía viven en libertad osos, lobos etc... En la meseta norte no podéis dejar de ver Burgos, con su maravillosa catedral o León cuya catedral conserva las vidrieras originales, Ávila con sus murallas, Segovia y su increíble acueducto romano. Pero si debo elegir un sólo lugar San Vicente de la barquera, lo tiene todo. Un saludo.

      I'm from the North and I can say that you will get a total different experience, same country, same people, but totally different weather, and landscape. I recommend Pamplona, San sebastian, Oviedo, Lugo, Santiago de Compostela, Burgos, Leon. There is plenty of beautiful pueblos like Hondarribia, potes, Ribadesella, Cangas de Onís, Cudillero, Combarro. Enjoy the beauty. and food will be from another galaxy😮

Una cosa más, personalmente nunca respondo si me hablan directamente en inglés, espero la suficiente educación para escuchar un "disculpe, habla inglés?".

      @@BreakawayBravehearts I found it to be a beautiful and very relaxed place, the locals were welcoming and appreciative (being there in low season definitely helps), and prices were very reasonable (cost to value ratio) compared to most of the other 40+ countries I've visited. Still plenty of travellers in the tourist hotspots, but not overcrowded. Sun every day was a big plus too.

    One point. DANA is not a storm name. It's Depresion Aislada en Niveles Altos (High Level Isolated Depression). It means that in high atmosphere were very cold and the Mediterranean was very hot. The contrast of water steam and the cold temperature was the big storms hits the coast

      Thank you Christine @vonlossberg. That easel thumbnail was a piece of art itself to make. Looks like you are an artist who loves an angel. Vinci was stunning and you can see why Leonardo was inspired to share. And Yes, we did experience Florence and loved the city. We saw "the Annuciation" by Leonardo da Vinci at the Uffizi, (the one with the angel meeting Mary), one of the many highlights of Florence. Thank you for sharing and caring to comment.
