to Dien Thanh and Pho Chau

October 30-31 - our last two full days in Vietnam.

Wednesday... nice to start with sunshine through the mist...

These two days are spent in rural areas...

We're seeing more Christian churches...

scooters reign supreme, and yes, that's a live duck being taken home for dinner...

...bicycles too, to the fields and to market... yes... guaranteed fresh live chickens...

We pass mainly through small villages...

before 8 a.m., kids heading for school

nicely situated school house

As well as agriculture, there is lumber and wood manufacturing...


business must be okay judging from the house behind

We've been on some really rough roads in the last two days... worth it for the scenery...

...and this morning, the first 10 or 15 km was along the shore of the South China Sea...  rough road, beautiful sunrise and scenery...

Tomorrow we leave Vietnam and cross into Laos.

Happy Hallowe'en.
