A small sampling of the gorgeous flowering trees in Central Vietnam
This is one of my favorite floral photos

Hot pink Bougainvillea

I'm sorry everyone I was unable to find out
the name of this beautiful flowering
tree

Beautiful coral colored Bougainvillea
The first time I've seen this color 

First stop on our walking tour

Hon Ai, Vietnam
Going for a walk around the Old Market

Nothing like a little propaganda to start off the day

Vu (tour guide) showing off the Viagra of choice for vietnamese men.
This bottle contains a scorpion and cobra (pickled ?) in wine
Yuck

The Famous (?) Marble Mountain Dragons

I had not heard of them but were amazing to see
Thank you for taking the photo (Mark, on tour with his father from Brisbane Australia)

This picture of us is in essence
 Vietnam
 to me
(Did you notice the Glen sweats is a happy face?!)
10:45 in the morning and it's already a scorching
30 degrees
Although you can't tell from this photo my hair feels twice it's normal size...humidity...sheesh!

White marble Buddha

Ling Ugh Pagoda

Ahh... the Ocean

Sun Dragon Pagoda

Tam Thai Pagoda

Sun Dragon Temple

The main reason for coming to the Marble Mountains
According to the guide.
I was just pleased to be out of the heat for half an hour

Coming down the stairs into the cave
Other than the small shrines that have light, only natural light is used

You will notice that unlike the cave system at Ha Long Bay, this cave
is not lit.
You are supposed to sense the statue not be shown where it is
