Snerk!
Add more photos on the ole’ trusty Vietnam Photo set
Ah, the rain and overcast has passed! We had awesome sunshine yesterday, which worked out well since we went on a sunrise trip to the near by My Son temple site.
My Son is one of the Hindu inspired sites that dote S.E. Asia (Bagan, Ankor, Attuyia (spelling!) are others). Hitting it at sunrise, we were the only group there, about 10 of us, I led Kate immediately away down a cool winding path opposite of the tour group. We only ran into them for about 2 minutes the whole time, excellent.
This place was built by the Cham, a people who lived in Central Vietnam and had a pretty large empire until they cheesed off a Vietnamese king and were absorbed.
Hoi An is absolutely charming. We are now BFF with some tailors here, I am coming home with a stack of custom fit clothes. Plus two, rather silly looking shoes I had made. Good Stuff.
Thinking we will loiter here in Hoi An for another day, then off to Hue for a few more days. Home in little more than a week (yiiikes!).
