Dear Dave,
Well we are still
trying to make the
most of our summer
by getting out
there and
exploring
locally. I'm
enjoying my
photography
and turning
some of my photos
into digital art.
Loved seeing and
photographing
Comet NEOWISE this
last month.
I hope you have
some fun,
productive and
healthy things to
occupy your time,
while we wait.
Dave Emery

ASIA - Traveling in Vietnam with Kids |

activities for the
children. Here are a
few ideas for
Vietnamese activities
for kids as well as
their parents.
Learn about the
water puppets in
Hanoi.
Enjoy all that a
Halong Bay cruise
has to offer.
Paint and then fly
a kit in Hue.
Enjoy a beach,
anywhere...
