Hello from Halong Bay

Never have I been to such a magical place in all my life. Vietnam is more than I imagined.

Hello from Ho Chi Minh City!

Is this normal for October?

I am amazed every day that I walk past the forgotten "Garden of Weedin'" and see something else in bloom. These are Cosmos and Pineapple Sage this morning. I don't remember anything from my spring plantings blooming this late in the year. I'm not sure if that means I have a bad memory or that the climate is changing. Mother Nature sure has a way of surprising me - most of the time it is pleasant.
