March 11, 2005 Overlooking the beach in Nha Trang

Our accomodations tonight are on the 8th floor of this luxury hotel overlooking the white sand beach in this post war town that is now more resort like. We sit at our corner window and watch the busy traffic cruising the boulevard below. It is 99% motor scooters and bicycles. The night lights are beautiful including the ones just 5 buildings over where they are utilizing the evening cool temperatues to weld on the superstructure of a new high rise hotel being built.

Tonight Gary shared with the group pictures of when he was in Nha Trang over 35 years ago. We are just 3 buildings away from the old French hospital where he was treated for wounds. It has changed considerably but he says he can still recognize it.

Tomorrow we will venture up to the big Buddah on the hill where Gary was nearly hit by sniper fire and then participate in visits to two homes for street children.

Watch for more postings soon.

All of Life is An Adventure
You just have to stop and enjoy the view.
