Last day of travel back to Saigon.... Once again, please forgive me if these pictures aren't the best, as I said before, shooting from a moving vehicle can be very difficult at times! Hope you enjoy!
Swiffer anyone?
Some of the last pics of the highlands as we made our decent down to Saigon.... Though I was ready for the warm climate of the south, I was also sad to leave this incredibly beautiful place....
and it wasn't long before the mountains were behind us and we were back to the long flat highways leading to Saigon....
The festival of children still going on as we pass through village after village....
We have a party on the patio back in the states.... These guys take the party on the patio on the road!
The tea fields.... wonder if this insecticide does any good against the bugs they have here.....
Vietnamese grave yard....
School letting out in one of the villages we went through.... rain or shine these kids walk miles to and from school.....
It's amazing what you will find build along side the roads here in the middle of no where....
Due to the rains we had in the highlands, there were a number of cool waterfalls along the way, I was able to get the driver to stop for this one so I could get out and get a few long exposure shots to slow blur the water.... turned out pretty good for no tripod!
Thought this was pretty amazing, pretty much an entire village on the water.... I find it very interesting how these people make the best out of the land that they are giving to live on.... or lack there of....
and finally, we end up back in Saigon just in time for rush hour traffic.....
Pop's and I are going to spend our final couple of days in country at the famous Rex hotel that has been here since before the war.... I figured he deserved a little taste of the good life after living on the road for the past week.... He was a total trooper and hung the entire time! Very proud of him and can tell a difference in how he looks at this once war torn place.... I think it's safe to say, all has been forgiven on both sides for the most part....
