Our day began in the early morning hours as the governmental mandated power outage shut down the AC unit and we were awakened by a strange silence and the rapidly warming room. It got better though, breakfast on the back deck overlooking rice paddies was pleasant, and an afternoon bike ride to the beach and subsequent swimming, lounging and reading were just what we were hoping for. We also picked up our newly tailored outfits and were mostly happy with the results. Robyn decided she needed a jacket (she'll be shipping that home) so we picked that up this evening. It is amazing how quickly the garments are made here in Hoi An. All told, we spent $80 on two shirts, two pants and a jacket. We were told that there are between 400 and 500 tailor shops here, and after walking around for a of couple days, I believe it. If you happen to be in Vietnam and you need a newly tailored wardrobe, come spend a few days in Hoi An. The food and the sights are also quit impressive.
