Tet Vacation


We took two weeks to travel with Julia's parents in February.

Just getting into the city and wandering around
One of the oldest pagodas in the city


1st stop on our travels was Mui Ne, a small beach town just north of HCMC.

Fairy Springs, a weird place where 3 different colored
sandstones make an otherworldly sight. 

Yes, that's Philip riding an ostrich
And Kathy riding an ostrich



Back into Ho Chi Minh City for a couple of days.

Kathy and Brian at the water puppet theater


And then onto the Mekong Delta.

A beautiful sunrise over the rice paddies.
A floating market in the river.
These boats are loaded with fruits straight from the farms.

We bought coffee from this lady making it on her boat.
Brian making friends with the locals


Last stop - Phu Quoc Island - just off the coast of Cambodia

We spent every morning and evening (and most of the days)
on the beach at the hotel.

at one of our favorite restaurants back in town
live chickens at the local market

What a whirlwind and a wonderful trip.
