Hoi An Beach
Johanna made the interesting observation that Vietnam and Mexico have a lot in common: good food, interesting historical sites and beautiful beaches. I agree. She and I biked to Hoi An Beach and spent a relaxing morning reading under umbrellas and swimming in the clear South China Sea. I could have spent all day there! I wanted to get a workout (as if bicycling all over town in 100-degree heat wasn’t exercise enough) so I actually swam some laps. It was even harder than I thought it would be what with the waves pushing me around and forcing water up my nose when I came up for air. Guess I won’t be winning any ocean swim races any time soon.
Relaxing on Cape Cod
This was exactly what I needed ahead of all my upcoming adventures. More to come…..
