Luge!
Hot day in Hoi An
Vietnam is in the Northern hemisphere which means as we head South, towards the equator, Hanoi was warm, Hue hot, and Hoi An very hot. We left early to see My Son Sanctuary before the real heat of the day. These temples were built earlier than Angkor Wat by the Champa people. Like Angkor, it was lost the the jungle, until it was rediscovered by the French who removes the heads from the statues, removed anything of value (including the king's body) and shipped the lot to The Louvre. Later, American B52s bombed the site. Despite all this it is a beautiful site. After lunch and a rest, we went to the Bamboo Circus. These artists were amazingly skillful and the bamboo apparatus' were inventive and unique. A good day.
