Travel Vietnam

I mentioned previously that I had just returned from a trip to Vietnam. I went on a 12 day tour through Gate 1 Travel and had a fabulous time. I'm still going through photos but  will post a few every day this week.
Here are a few to start with. Many of the historic buildings had beautiful tile work in rich colors.
