More photos from Spring Break

It rained twice this week!!!!  On Friday, while waiting for the bus to work, I asked a young man (who is also waiting for HIS bus to work) if we could say the rainy season has started.  He said, "yes."  Given the heat of today, I think we aren't ALL the way into the rainy season.

Here's some more photos from Spring Break.  All of these are from the "mountains" of Da Lat.


You can see coffee prices here.  
A "general" guideline is: take off 4 zeros and multiple by 4.3 to get the U.S. dollar equivalent.


Yes ... those are all avocados - 75 cents a pound.  You really should come visit, right?


That's right ... avocado smoothie!


Strawberries also come from Da Lat


Mulberries, too!


Da Lat is known for The Flower Garden, sort of like the Butchart Gardens of Vietnam.


It is really interesting what reminds me of my children.  When they were young, Thomas the Tank Engine was a part of our lives.  The theme song became part of the family repertoire.  So, to me, here's Budda saying, "He's the one, he's the number one, Thomas the Tank Engine."


The garden shop- just buy what you want - it will grow here.


Hmmm ... Bamboo Airlines.  It doesn't exactly inspire a lot of confidence.
