WE COULD STAY HERE FOR WEEKS!

Pictures of Da Lat, Vietnam.  A resort town in the cool mountains with fabulous fruits & vegetables enjoyed by the French for over 100 years and preserved by Americans for same reason. Lots of French influence, architecture, food, baguettes, cream sauces, cafe au lait, a mini Eiffel tower and quaint with both Vietnamese and French art both originals and reproductions found in hotels and cafes.  Have you been here???



Our hotel is old, very French, and adjacent to a wonderful market.

You select your fish then she prepares it however you like. And with such grace.


Waiting for chicken buyers.

  1. Hi Anne and Tom,

    I had to wait for Dylan to wake up to give me the password...so hope this isn't posted all over the place since this is my 3rd try! Anyway, it is so amazing to read about your experiences, learn about the people you meet, and view the incredible photos that bring everything to life. Thanks for sharing so much. You two are obviously excellent good-will ambassadors from America! Don't hurry home since the only thing you're missing is political stuff that definitely is not as much fun as you seem to be having.

    Have a beer for me! Susan :)
