Flowers

Hội An, Quang Nam Province, Vietnam
Flower growers must be ecstatic at Tet and especially this year when it coincides with Valentines Day. The pictures were taken over a 15 minute period and there were many I missed.
Yesterday Andre and I were invited to another Tat Nien, this time at Trams home in Tam Ky. Andre had never ridden a scooter before but I was confident he would pick it up quickly. He rides a bike aroung Hoi An so how difficult would it be to ride an auto scooter? Too difficult as it truned out as My Le wouldn't hire one to him. The main reason was that the road to Tam Ky would be full of people, buses and trucks going to and fro and causing mayhem on the roads. Her words were "I am Vietnamese I know". So reluctantly we gave in and mooched down to Banana Split and sat. Of course Tram was upset I didn't go but I felt an obligation to Andre not to leave hime in the lurch so to speak. I was going to go to Tam Ky tomorrow to make it up with Tram but Hai gave me the lecture again, too dangerous, many many people etc.It seems the only safe way to go is by taxi or wait until after Tet. My sister arrives tonight so I may go there in a car at some point.
Had diiner with Hai, Fried chicken and beef marrow broth at An Hung, and then a tour of the flower market in town. Chaos as you will see from the video.
