  Louis’s back surgery made him a new man, Dr. Larson, and there’s no end to adventures, thanks to you!

Do you have to be careful about eating anything, eg dairy or fresh washed vegetables due to the water? Years ago we avoided those in Cambodia but still had one nasty reaction from street food.

But even if you can’t eat it it’s beautiful to see and smell!

  Ya know, Vicki, as a newsman on the road for 40 years, Louis followed an iron-clad policy of never eating street food. Because it always looks so good, we have modified the policy to give ourselves permission to eat it on outings with locals. In Ho Chi Minh City last year, we took a motor scooter tour of the city (each of us behind a driver) that included wonderful street food. The guide told us it takes a local to know where we could eat safely. We often don’t eat raw produce like lettuce even in restaurants and hotels in many parts of the world, but we have not needed to take that precaution in Asia so fare. We have eaten with abandon in three countries now, without ill effect. (And may that statement not jinx us! Nothing is worse on the road than traveler gut.)

Hi Doris and Louis, This is a wonderful documentary of Viet Nam travels. I love it.

I have a question: As you know, we now have a Viet Namese/American branch of the family that has not been back for 30+ years, although they have frequent visitors from Viet Nam.

I wonder if they might follow your trip via Facebook? It might be interesting to hear about how things are from an American point of view, currently.

Thanks dears! Sharon

Good Morning – I read this while eating shredded wheat, and some how, my experience was elevated! Loved the pictures – my favorite is the fresh fruit on the bicycle.

As for Barbie, she will make a statement where ever she goes.

Take care, have fun and see you soon,

Ann

Oh so so so and even more so splendid, this piece! Now I’m remembering the amazing foods we ate in Laos, but I can’t now recall. Something wrapped in a banana leaf, filled with something ground out in an upside down shaped colander thing. It’ll come to me later. And of course the coffee. Didn’t try weasel or any of the others you mention, but of course we brought home the apparatus.

Louis. Il était temps que tu retournes au Vietnam, juste pour tes photos magnifiques. Pour y avoir été, je revois cette endroit très photogénique.

Bonne continuation.
