But still fairly delightful. Walked to a pagoda, lunched, postcarded, napped, read, dinnered. Not too exciting.
Broke down and took my first taxi today. Just couldn’t face the rain right then.
Also I ordered something with absolutely no idea what it might be. Crab soup with pork, it turns out. Not awful but not my favorite either.
Off to Da Nang tomorrow. There’s a giant Buddha so that’ll be cool.
Here’s todays pictures
Froggy liked that durian candy. Also it was gone today so at least someone enjoyed it!The lime green poncho was a big hit today with the localsI was lucky to see the flag raising. I can’t imagine how much it must weigh wetIm guessing it floods from time to timeI had wandered in here a while until a vicious little dog chased me out
I was intrigued to find a Carmelite order. The gate was closed of course, but here’s a link with a short blurb about it…
And just a few feet away, this place. Linh Mu temple. Very busy, very clean, lots of monksThe pagoda had no admission so the place was crawling with tourists in busesThe Perfume River was full. A gal that works at the hostel said that her street was floodedAfter just 3 days of rain the grass was so green
The Thien Mu pagoda is also called the Linh Mu pagoda. It actually belongs to the Temple I saw down the street
I bought some postcards here. The gal had to go get change so she left me in charge for 5 minutes. I felt very important
