Okay, I really posted two times in one day today! Last week we visited a town called Hoi An and fell in love with it. It was just charming! It's a town known for their zillions of tailors (and we tried out 3 of them!), "no motorbikes in the downtown" (ahhhhh....peaceful!), chinese influence, french architecture, and beautiful beach.
 |
| I just wonder how many thousands of sewing machines one could find in this town!?! |
 |
| We absolutely loved walking/shopping/touring the streets of the ancient town! |

 |
| We went on a motorbike tour of the local villages, rice fields, Marble Mountain, China Beach and pottery village. It was so cool to watch the locals teach the girls how to mold the pottery. |

| Their version of the scarecrow...rain panchos on a stick! |
 |
| Abigail sketched out the design of this dress the week prior to our trip. This fabulous tailor made it come alive! I'm proud of you, Abigail, for being so creative and making me such a lovely dress. Not many 9 year olds can say they they've had their very own design custom made! |

| Japanese Bridge it up at night...built in the 1500s. |

| What an asian lantern looks like when it's not quite complete |
