Hoi An – an ancient town

 

old and new

Hoi An is a small, beautiful old town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site – a joy to wander, shop and photograph.  easy to explore on foot, though many rent motos and bicycles to get out and around.  narrow streets and old shop-fronts are full of beautiful arts and crafts, and there are many historical sites to see.  there is a very interesting local market.  stopped there awhile for some yummy soup.  it was relaxing to watch the cook prepare the bowls of steaming noodles.  lots of open-front cafes and restaurants – nice to sit and watch the action, sipping a local style coffee, or a Saigon Beer.

and after all the busy-ness in the regions to the south – peaceful Hoi An is a very welcome change.
