Da Lat


Ngan just finished visiting Da Lat. Da Lat is a city in the interior of Vietnam. Way into the mountains.

The location is good for a vacation escaping the heat. They built a railroad up to the city, and when I visited last year, we saw one of the original steam engines they used to get to the city.

They grow strawberries, avocados, raspberries, and lots of other food you can't grow in the heat below the mountains. There are pine trees, and the grass is very fine there. It is very similar to here, but probably the temperature remains about 70 year round.
To the Left is Ngan with her aunt, di Ba (aunt three).









To the right is a picture of Ngan with her sister, Hai (number two).

There are many gardens in Da Lat. One is called the VallĂ©e d’Amour because students attending the French built school used to fool around there. Now they have turned it into a nice garden.

I think she can, but I don't think that she has.
