Arriving at the gondola, is this for real?
Apparently, yes:
What an amazing way to see the rich agricultural environment:
And the rich spiritual environment at the Zen temple on the other side:
Observe a little detail:
Admire the flowers:
Marvel at a perpetually spinning ball:
I’m entranced by the architecture (maybe a missed calling?) and those gardens put my yard to shame. Puts Vietnam in another light as someone growing up during that war that divided our country.

I’m so glad I could share it with you. Vietnam works hard to accommmodate returning American Vietnam Vets, you just tell them you are one and you get special treatment. Vets go back a lot to visit where they were and lost friends during those awful time and the Vietnamese have preserved these places, provide tours, and are very welcoming. There’s a lot of healing and a lot of pride.
