Hello Paul, thank you for bringing back memories of our visit to Hoi An many years ago, I’m sure it has changed in that time, like 24 years… loved your art shown from your trip plus the photos

Thank you Sally! I am sure you will be surprised by the growth and development in Hoi An. It is now a little bustling town full of tourists.

i dont sketch much since

Tết ,due to the nasty flu i gof upon my flight back from visiting grandkids but had a great time celebrating the NewYear with their Vietnamese school . Upon cleaning up the playroom k found the Black paper sketch book. It was fun to use the Jelly Roll white pen and the Caran D’Ache neocolor crayor… I can still hear your voice … Keep practicing… Miss you 😘

I love this. I went to HoiAn on the back of a bus from Laos in 2002. It was the place to go to get clothes made 😊

Wow you went to 2002!!! Hoi An must have been really serene and quaint then. Yes the locals are really good at tailoring.
