About an hour or two from Hanoi is this beautiful rural heaven for city dwellers like us.
Vietnam is definitely not all rural or backward like what a lot of people imagine. Go to Ho Chi Minh and you might think you're in Bangkok, Thailand.
But I prefer the northern Vietnam, where the clock still seems a little behind...
It's Monday here where we are, the start of a new week. Back to the diapers and purees...
But it's nice to dream a little every now and then.. dream about the past, dream about the future... just dream...
Thanks for all your comments!! I really appreciate it!
This really looks like heaven! I think it is a beautiful pic.

@Eleftheria, 9 years old,: Thanks Eleftheria! Did anyone tell you that you have a beautiful name? (I'm sure you get that a lot! :-))
The water is soooo still....shhhh I feel like whispering

@Lost Valley Views: whisper back.... thanks... :-)
It looks like the boat is floating effortless across the water, but I'm sure it is hard work for the people...

@Wolfgang Prigge: you're absolutely right.. it is really hard work, especially it's always the women doing the rowing of the boat. Not forgetting how warm it was! Thanks for your comment! :-)
Very nice - perfect reflection as well!
