Best of Hoi An

There is an 'eye' on each boat to ward away the demons in the waters.  However our bike guide said it's probably more useful because then the fishermen will know which end of the boat is front after a night at the bar.

You buy a lighted lantern from a vendor( obviously they sell better if the vendor is a child)  Then you place the lantern on the river.  It's beautiful at night with dozens of lanterns floating on the river.

Ferry Crossing.  Full to capacity.

Crabs and fresh fish from the market to the restaurants or the street stalls.

I bet these eggs are really fresh.

Smokin' a cigar and probably 99 years old.  Love her sweater pinned together.

Pho noodles at the market

Best food we have eaten yet was from this hole in the wall.  Restaurant named Pho Xue.    Every bite was YUM.  Next time I'll take pictures of the food. Forgot.

Natalie, I am sure you could have done wonders with this window.

My Son Sanctuary

(Dad is in the blue jacket under the black umbrella)

My Son Sanctuary from 4th century AD to 13th century AD.  This is about an hour west of Hoi An.  Hoi An itself is quaint and picturesque, with the Central market of colorful stalls and shops.
