Seeing Vietnam


So we finally started our tour of Vietnam. We drove to HaLong Bay, got on a cruise ship, and then kayaked through some caves where we saw a couple of monkeys in the Battle Royale with 2 crows. The room we had was actually really nice and it came with built-in stabilizers so Stephanie only got sick 3 times on the ship. The food? Not so great, but we have broken into the peanut butter and Stephanie is already starting to eat only rice. Today we went to see a very famous cave.
Regrettably, Steph got stuck and is now well on her way to becoming a permanent stalagtite. Then, it was on to Ninh Binh where we climbed up to Heaven
That's a dragon at the top of the mountain, and if you look closely you'll see Calisi riding it. Tomorrow--more caves and a search party looks for my favorite stalagtite.

yes, it happened again. Stephanie just had to have a hot dog, and let's just say it didn't agree with either of us. I'm feeling better now, but Steph is still kind of yucky. We left Ba Na Hills and went to Hoi An, a charming city with a jillion leather and silk stores. We tried walking the streets last night, but it was so ungodly hot (40°C) that we didn't get very far. Today we went to My Son ("beautiful mountain" in Vietnamese) a World Heritage UNESCO site of Hindu ruins from the 8th -10th century. Also got our first glimpse of the American presence during the war, as the two bombs that were dropped on the site. Another beastly day,though, so we came back to a small but glorious pool at the hotel. Also saw how silk clothing is made at a silkworm processing store.
