Hoi An

We hired a car and driver and had little trip through the mountains by the ocean which brought us to Hoi An a preserved trading port  from the 15th century, drawing a huge number of travellers--all getting clothing made to measure in less than 24 hours for peanuts.  Yes, we bought some too.

We also rented bikes, braved the craziness of the cars and motorcycles, and had a great time riding through the quiet  rice paddies just outside town.  


Ding ding, Dad!




It's all grown by hand and...
...water buffalo.  They do the plowing and are big in art and folklore

A duck ranch.  They are important in the crop cycle, but I can't figure out exactly what they do.
