 We found out quickly that scooters rule in Vietnam. It was a long drive to Hoi An and we saw SO many. |
 Looking at phones while riding was common. At least they're wearing flimsy helmets |
 Yellow flowers = prosperity, wealth, happiness |
 We were told to not touch or accept fruit or we had to buy it. OK! |
 First glimpse of Hoi An, a beautiful traditional city |
 Hat & everything else vendor found us early on. |
 Somewhere in here is a woman |
 I took a quick picture before she could come over. |
 Hoi An bridge with flags & water reflections |
 Phung Hung Old House - Extremely old & still occupied |
 Lanterns & balancing act of wares |
 Disappointingly, the beautiful old bridge was under scaffolding. Near by was this sign about agent orange. |
 The altar at the Cantonese Assembly Hall was amazing. |
 At the Cantonese Assembly, someone was in the garden tidying up the garden. |
 Offerings often include cans of beer. Larue was popular in Vietnam. |
 Kumquat trees are very popular |
 Hoi An beach. A large Buddha statue is visible from there |
 Driving through Danang, we got a quick glance from the van of the Dragon Bridge that spits flames at night. |
 Ruth in Hoi An |
 Sure saw a lot of dragons on this cruise! |
 Little trash can for paper at a cafe. Don't flush the paper! |
 The van stopped for a short while at Marble Mountain. |
 Marble everywhere |
 And we stopped briefly at the Lang Co Lagoon |
 Three buildings |
 Tommy, our guide, showed us how oysters are cultivated there. |
 Two boats |
 The ship turned a little out of our berth before I could see the Chan May lighthouse. |
