Mui Ne, Phan Thiet -- Viet Nam Beach

Sunrise First Morning on South China Sea
This place is beautiful and interesting.  The beach is narrow but the tide goes out enough in the afternoon for the young boys to have a rousing game of soccer on the beach under my window.  There are not a lot of people on the beach, but early morning I see the "basket" boat fishermen going out along with the other fishing boats.

Really Hard Work
This guy showed up every afternoon to seine the sand for salt water snails that they serve in restaurants.  The long pole is a wide tooth rake with a net attached.  The belt around his waist helps him as he walks backward dragging the rake deep through the sand.

The second morning we all got up and went to the Sand Dunes at Mui Ne.  This is an area they call the Little Desert where people go and rent mats and slide down the sand dunes.  Sound like fun? 
Me, Scott & Kristen in front of the little sand dunes.



This little girl was one of the kids who followed you around asking you to rent a mat for sliding.  She spoke very good English.  She asked me, " Madam you slide?"  I told her, "Madam too old to slide."  She said, " If Madam slide, she be young."
