Hoi An

After class on Tuesday, we had an opportunity to take a taxi to the World Heritage site of Hoi An.  The old part of town is a preserved example of a 15th century Asian port.  The yellow walls with dark wood balconies is the typical architecture of this town and era.  Lots of shops and even more tourists.  It was a beautiful way to spend the evening, dinner on a patio overlooking the river covered in paper lanterns.  And I managed to get a little shopping done.  Thanks to our host, Francois, for that suggestion.

China Beach but they've renamed it to South Beach I think
