More Vietnam Pictures
We took a long jeep ride, constantly stopping for goat-herders and cows (a frequent occurrence in Vietnam and Cambodia).
Our destination was some random sand dunes. Each of us got a special tour guide. This was definitely the most fun part of our trip.
My guide, Dao, showed me a good time sledding down the dunes and carrying my sled back up the mountain.
He was definitely the boss. He's 15. Seriously, every kid we asked looked half their age.
When I got tired of sledding we just goofed around for a while.
They ended up making quite a bit of money from us (their parents too). They earned it though - by far the best guides on our trip. We also bought them some cokes. We were out in the middle of nowhere but while we were all relaxing enjoying our bevs, kids just kept popping up from behind every random tree wanting a drink too - so as was the theme of our trip, we obliged.

Dude, those sand dunes look extremely familiar... Do you remember the name of the nearest town? cause I think I went there in the Spring. I don't remember the name, but if I heard, I'm sure it would ring a bell. Glad you enjoyed the trip!
Peter,
We were staying in Mui Ne. Dude, I bet we they were the same sand dunes because I didn't hear of any others and they seemed very out of place. It was by the ocean and NE of Ho Chi Minh. Did you recognize my kid?
Yep, same dunes, possibly the same kid. I'll send you our picks sometime.
Our kids at the dunes, though, got mad when we went to pay them (what we thought was a reasonable rate) and cussed us out in English. An unpleasant little scene.
I'll show/send you my pictures sometime. As soon as I download them onto my computer...
That girl is touching you.

Dude Ashley,
She's grabbing the kids leg - sorry nothing juicy going on for you
