I just returned to Saigon after a few days in the beach/coastal town of Mui Ne. The beach was delightful and theraputic, helping me get rid a a recurrent upper respiratory problem. I took a few hours away from the beach to explore the area a little.

The most famed site of Mui Ne is the Saharan like sand dune which is best viewed at sunset. I tried sand sledding but ended up with clothes and skin covered with fine sand. Next time I will skip the sand sled and just enjoy the spectacular views.

A local fishing village, perhaps source of some of the fine seafood I enjoyed in the "bo ke",
which means waterside, food stands.

These are not baskets for collecting fish. They are woven boats which are everywhere along the coast.
Just a couple of notes here:
1-When I try to run spell check here in Viet Nam the program must think I am writing in Vietnamese because the only words not highlighted for correction are "the," "a," and "in" which must be Vietnamese words.
2-For anyone going to Mui Ne be sure to eat at Lam Tong Popular Restaurant, a bo ke right on the beach in the center of town. Order batter fried shrimp and grilled squid.
