Fascinating Places

Every day during a recent trip to Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam provided fascinating sights - along the Mekong River.   Natural limestone monuments in Halong Bay, Vietnam Peaceful reflection by the river in Hoi An, Vietnam Sparkling waterfalls Kuang Si, Laos   Not all the amazing sights were natural - many many wondrous temples, statues, structures....   Mosaics.... Bridge built by Japanese in Vietnam Cave entry .... stone dragons .... homes and hotels.... and even tunnels ... Obviously not built for the western physique!  POST SCRIPT - HAPPY MOTHERS' DAY
