Another day in Hoi An

29/12/2015

We had another good bike ride through the countryside today even though there were some nasty muddy spots , and we got caught in the rain. We had a dip in the pool or showers to freshen followed by a lunch at our favourite Vietnamese restaurant just down the street. This afternoon and evening we had a nice walk through the old city visiting some historic sites, the market and the river bank.
​
Barry has posted some photos from the bike ride, so I'll post some of the ones from around the city. I was a little bolder with my camera today and got a few more "people" shots. The locals seem completely comfortable being photographed.

The roads in Hoi An are shared by trucks, cars, motorcycles/mopeds, bicycles, and whatever else needs to be taken along the street.

These industrious women offer river boat rides after the fishing is done in their boats.

A local girl sits and watches the river's activities while her parents are setting up a street stall behind her. It's very common to see children at work with their parents.
I almost forget to mention that we participated in Barry's least favourite activity today: shopping. He is having some custom clothes (a suit, sports jacket, pants and shirts) made in Hoi An - something this city is famous for. He doesn't need them on the trip, but he can't show up to work at the university in Korea in shorts and a t-shirt that says, "Not all who wonder are lost."
​

The clothes should be ready tomorrow.

    We are embarking on the family journey of a lifetime and I am trying to be the bravest and most adventurous version of myself as we begin. Looking forward to this journey is very exciting and rather overwhelming at the same time. We are making huge changes in our lives in hopes of enriching them.

    My blog is a personal account of this trip. I'm happy to it share with my family and friends so they can join me on this journey.
