Movin' South

 
These are still pictures from Hanoi.  Have arrived in the south and it is different from the north.  I am in Hoi an a lovely relaxed seaside town where there are hotels with swimming pools, lovely restaurants by the inland waterway.  We drove on the main highway which was not a great road from Hanoi through a mountain pass and Da nang.  


Had a very tasty lunch with my guide and driver in a restaurant on the highway.  it was some kind of rice noodle like a pancake with fried shallots.  With it we had pork with crackling, bean sprouts, lettuce with herbs and fish sauce with sugar and chili peppers.  You put it in a bowl and mix it all together.  I would have never known to order it.  With ice tea it cost $5 for three person.


I have been lucky to find interesting travelers to dine with for dinner every night.o

I have to run.  I am being picked up in 15 minutes to go to a cooking class.  Will report.  Share this e-mail with mutual friends.
Thanks and Love,
Judy
