And a boat on the Thu Bon River, Hoi An, Vietnam

A lily in a pond at Victoria Hotel, Hoi An, Vietnam

A serene place on Cua Dai Beach in Hoi An, Vietnam

to have a Western style Sunday brunch buffet - Victoria Hotels and Resorts.

OK, so, for Shirl, wonderful fish soup with croutons and grated parmesan cheese, grilled corn, nutella waffles, raised sugar donut, excellent low-fat (!) decaffeinated (!) cappucinos, and a calm, safe atmosphere, where Rowan and could just chill out, notice that we have been on high alert for months and now relax.

And our view

A calm afternoon on China Beach from various perspectives

A photo safari of China Beach reveals how much there is to the place.

The fisherman fishing, like his ancestors have always done

and in close-up, fishing gear

and the encroachment of what we on the road call Same, Same.  (How did people from California hear about China Beach and build here?  And why do they have to have houses that are all the same and nearly touch each other, even here, on the other side of the world?)  :)

And then, at magic light, there is the view we all love, whether it is me doing a fast walk in the sand or the fisherman, or whoever is moving into these houses...

And here we are

in all the glory of all the clothes we have!  And I know it looks like a drug store.  :)
