After months of trip anticipation, our Hoi Ann trip with Tav
and Jenny finally arrived! The journey
exceeded all expectations and everyone had a great time strolling through the
lantern lit streets, savoring the amazing food, exploring temples, and having custom clothes made at the tailor. In the evenings the streets are closed to
motorbikes making the downtown area really pleasant and relaxing to wander
around in.
A few friends highly recommended we take advantage of the
tailor shops in Hoi Ann and get some clothes made.

We had quite a few amazingly delicious meals during our stay, including a
banh mi that was so good it cracked Jeff tooth.
It made for endless hilarious jokes throughout the trip. Luckily we already had a dentist appointment
scheduled for 3 days later and he was able to get it fixed up quickly.

We made our way to My Son temple, a partially ruined Hindu
temple complex made from red bricks.

The trip finale was cooking class where we learned to make
pho bo, fresh spring rolls, Vietnamese pancakes, and chicken with
lemongrass. Our favorite was the pho of
course and we’ve already replicated it at home several times. Unfortunately our 3 days in Hoi Ann flew by
way to quickly, but it was an amazing trip and awesome to experience with
friends.
