Hoi An: A Late Afternoon Boat Trip


All aboard...


Our overly-generous resort offered a free shuttle boat to Hoi An's city center.  While it was only a 7 minute trip, it sure was a treat to see the town from the sea with the sun waning and the wind whipping through our hair. Short but sweet.






The boatman has clearly perfected the VIS (Vietnamese Inscrutable Scowl)!





Captain Nellie! I took the helm while the guys took videos of our surroundings...

Photo ops...

The first dance...







Looking ethereal in white, glowing under the lights and the darkened sky.



To warm beer and inexorable uxoriousness!








Scribbling...



The ceremony to end all ceremonies commences! Motorbikes and scimitars, fire and smoke, kisses and hugs!










Conflagration!







Performance amid mayhem...






The End and the Beginning...
