My mom sent me a great note yesterday and wanted to see pictures of Hoi An. I am including a bunch that Ed and I took on vacation. You remember, back when we could leave our block.
 |
| At night the city came alive on both sides of the river. |
 |
This was a walk along the river from our Hotel into Downtown
|
 |
Lots of Temples. The Viet "worship" ancestors
|
The Vietnamese people do tend to have shrines to various Gods and the their ancestors. 'Worship" isn't the correct word, really. It's more a cross of worship and honor.
 |
A mix in old town of Viet and French styles.
|
 |
This was an ancient gate between 2 temples. the temples were destroyed, but this remained.
|
 |
They were big on large bonzai plants. I loved them.
|
 |
So Hoi An was the trading capital during olden days. This is the Japanese Bridge. Built by the Japanese traders 500 years ago.
|
There were so many beautiful lamps and lanterns. Eddie and purchased 2 small ones for ur Christmas tree next year.
