Travel: Vancouver Snapshot
Vancouver snapshot. I love travel snapshots – I share a few pictures while we’re on the road traveling. And blog a bit about the city we’re in. Not only are they fun to create, yet they’re also fun to look back on. The larger posts, about specific attractions and the overall city come later. Why? It’s because those posts takes a lot of time – and let’s be honest, right now, I’d rather see the city I’m in! This Vancouver snapshot is just a few…

Travel: Beach in Hoi An Vietnam
The beach in Hoi An Vietnam is such a relaxing place. It’s not too busy and the water is warm in May. One thing to watch out for – you have to pay to sit at the luxury chairs.

The Beach We rode our bikes to the beach and paid 1$ to…

You can’t visit Hoi An Vietnam without visiting Old Town – you simply need to see it. You’ll have to buy a ticket at one of the three entry points for 6$ and along with it you’ll get access to 6 historic sights. Here are some pictures from our visit.
