spent a week in hoi an- its an amazing small town half way down the coast of vietnam. we rented bicycles every day and rode around town. also went out to the beach about 20 minutes away.
these are the rice fields on the way back.
hoi an is famous for its tailors. we dropped more money here than during 3 weeks in laos. but i ended up with a few sweet suits, cowboy shirts, a corduroy jacket and laura got like 15 dresses. shipped them back sea mail, so they'll make it to the US in about 4 months.
had great food in hoi an. we ate at this street vendor table a few nights in a row. alicia asked how they made their special fried wontons and they immediately put her to work behind the stove. she loved it.
we also took a great cooking class here. walked through the market and learned about local veggies and fish, then took a boat ride over the restaurant. cooked up 5 vietnamese dishes while getting poured homebrewed rice wine from our instructor. funny vietnamese guy with a thick australian accent.
someone messed up their cucumber fan. (laura)
we made a point of it not to eat here (welcome to our exclamation?)
