In the mountains of northern Vietnam (1997)

People from the Black Hmong hill tribe walk up from valley to market

and just to prove I didn't steal the image, here are two Hmong girls in the village - and me in the background.

I will be posting a bunch of these older pictures that I had thought lost and just found.
I found pictures of our guide from 1998 and now he has a successful tour company based in Hanoi so I will send him the pictures.

Nice. I've always wanted to visit Vietnam.

Nice. I've always wanted to visit Vietnam.

Beautiful country with a tremendous amount to see and lots of variety in settings.
Because it is so long from end to end it takes several weeks to see it all.

I have always wanted to see Dien Bien Phu just because it is the symbol of the end of colonialism in SEA but it is waaaay off the easy tourist routes.

I'm afraid that none of these will be good quality because they were shot with a low end film P&S and sat in a box in a loft in my garage for ~15 years.

Think of them as travel shots discovered on the tropical estate of a great travel photographer.

I quite enjoy the first one.

Vietnam is in my top 5 places to visit.
