Hoi An

March 20. According to Lonely Planet Hoi An is "Vietnam's most atmospheric and delightful town".  It is in central Vietnam near China Beach, which was  where the US forces visited for R & R. Fortunately this area was spared by the war.  It is a world heritage site so there are restrictions on building any new structures.  The old part of town does not allow cars.  It reminded me of some of the towns we visited in Yunan province in China. As you can see, there was a lot of shopping here.  

The Japanese covered bridge built in 1593 is it's most famous site.

Chinese Assembly Hall.

I had pho here, but I actually like what we get at home better.  The beef wasn't  very good.  I would guess it is expensive.  

For an obvious reason the price they quoted mom for t shirts was more than what they quoted Chris who is Chinese.

A nice town to walk around.  It was in the upper 80's.
