Fish, sticky rice, and sweet potatoes

At home in South Carolina, we're experiencing unusually cold weather (frigid, actually). I haven't had time to post web galleries of photos from Southern Vietnam yet, but it's nice to choose photos to write about.

Here's a wonderful image of the diversity of sweet potatoes offered up in Dalat's main market, reflecting a major vegetable and fruit growing area in the Central Highlands of Vietnam.

And a sticky rice street food snack from Hoi An. Yum.

And the fishing fleet that still exists near the international beach resort of Nha Trang (actually quite a lovely place, complete with fabulous beach views from high hotel windows, and a wonderful park behind the beach stretching for miles).
