Vietnam

Bev took our daughters to Vietnam while they were in college, and we returned in 2023. It was just as chaotic and wonderful as she remembered. We stayed in three cities and took part in the Lantern Festival in Hoi An, something Bev and the girls missed. We will always remember our time here, on both occasions, with fond memories.
