We had a late morning breakie barbie heading up the Saigon river. It looked like the ship's mast barely made it under the power lines. |

Molly on a cyclo. I had previously had incredible experiences with the cyclo drivers, but this was a bad batch that tried to rip us off. |

Molly was looking for a large piece of luggage, so to help her decide, this girl climbed inside to show us how big it was. |
The best tailor we found in Hoi An was Boo at Chic. He was a little pixie of a guy, but had his own flair. He was annoyed at me because apparently I have "man arms." At least one of us does! |
This woman paddled up to us when we were looking for a boat to take us to a nearby village. She and her young son took us over there. |
Molly was so excited to be out on a small boat that she helped paddle. |

Corey, Collin, and the woman's 13 year old son who jumped on board to be our translator. I think we helped him skip school. |
People live on these boats which barely give them enough room to sit up. They cook, sleep, and even do laundry on board. |

Approaching the village of Kim Bong on Cam Kim island |
Cam Kim island is known for woodworking. Molly is relaxing in a chair in a small woodworking factory. |

Corey wanted to buy a piece of art, so we all stopped at this little gallery where she bought a painting. |
Colling playing around with our little guide. |
Corey helped out with the rowing on our way back. |
I guess you'd call this a sailboat. |
Our guides showed us the little covered boat where they live. |
