On the Way to Huế: Marble Mountains, Buddha, and Bunkers
Today we took the long drive to Hue from Hoi An, over and through a couple of mountains.
The first stop along the way was a marble craftsman. It was pretty cool to see how the pieces were made. Some of them were huge.
Working on a Lady Buddha.
Wet polishing.
Big Buddha.
Next it was across the street and into the Marble Mountains to some Buddhist temples, including one built into a cave.

Beautiful Buddha.
Some of the group on the long steps down from the mountain.
Then it was up to the top of Hai Van pass. It was a long way through, but so high that were were surrounded by clouds at the peak.
The veterans in an old bunker.
Dylan playing solider.
At the bottom of the mountain we stopped for lunch at a resort along the ocean.
Good lunch view.
We pulled into our hotel around 4. After getting comfortable and grabbing some dinner, we're ready for tomorrow. More then!
