Pho Bac is Now The Boat

The boat used to be Pho Bac but now Pho Bac is in the building behind it. I’m not sure if the Boat is still doing chicken rice.

I ate at Pho Bac long ago on my wedding day with my friend Ben, who was in his full Navy dress uniform. Got stung by a bee shortly thereafter but it turned out to be a good thing. Not sure if it was the bee venom or the Sriracha but it was a hot day and I remained as cool as a cucumber. Still married.
