| Next stop on the Vietnam tour was the beach city of Hoi An. Whoever art directed this place is a genius. |
 |
| At one point it occurred to me: "I'm usually on the other side of this ocean." Could you see me waving? |
 |
| For reasons I am still unclear on, Vietnamese beach trash receptacles are shaped like penguins. Eat my garbage, Happy Feet! |
 |
| On a scooter tour of the countryside, we got to see a woman who makes zillions of rice crackers in her home. |
 |
| She dries them out on the porch like laundry. |
 |
| For now: lovable pets. Later on: Bún Thịt Nướng. |
 |
| I can't remember if this was tea or something stronger... like snake wine. Or gasoline. |
 |
| The tour guide was delighted when I told him that I had a scooter in college, and encouraged me to take the wheel for awhile. |
 |
| Considering the hyper aggressiveness of Vietnamese motorists, the caption of this photo easily could have been "Died trying to drive a Vespa in Vietnam." |
