Hot and Sticky Vietnam

The lovely "Me" in the Red River Delta District on my little bicycle. My friend Cheri and I took a tour to explore the backcountry of the area. It was an amazing adventure, riding around on our bicycles and attempting our horrible Vietnamese language skills. It was worth every penny!!!!

The lovely Cheri in Sapa.

The Dutch girl that went on a two day hike in a skirt and a pair of nice leather white shoes. She stepped in mud up to her ankle, this is the after effect.

Graveyard of North and South Vietnamese killed during the war. DMZ.

This is what is left of the US air base in the DMZ. The American army blew up the building after pulling out and this is all that remains.

So kids, let's learn how to shoot guns in the park today around civilians.... Hue, Vietnam

Typical straw brooms and triangular hats...a normal scene in Vietnam 

Cheri and my attempt at making vietnamese springrolls. This was a mighty meal.

Food. Would you like some mini eggs with that tea. Chinatown, Bangkok. 

Mount Everest from the airplane. I've never been shocked by such beauty and fear...the whole plane watched in silence while we pasted the top of the world.
