Hoi An

Old town

More pictures form Vietnam. These are from a town in the middle of the country called Hoi An.
Although the city is below the 17th parallel, and well into the territory that was heavily bombed during the Vietnam War, this city was saved. The city center is very quaint. Wooden houses date back a few hundred years, and at night the streets are light with lanterns. This was a very nice place to spend a few relaxing days visiting sites and going to the beach.
