Mỹ Sơn

Mỹ Sơn has definitely exceeded my expectations. It was another place that has been on my list for years and years and one of the first images that made me desperate to visit Vietnam. I went at sunrise, a very bumpy hour (the kind of bumpy that makes you wish you'd toned up slightly) outside of Hoi An in the dense jungle, and except for the people I was with, had the place to myself. 

Mỹ Sơn Sanctuary is made up of large areas of Hindu Temples dating back to the 4th century and although time has done damage, bombing of the area during the Vietnam War destroyed a lot of the area. 

Here is my face as proof I was actually there and did not snatch these images from Google. Sorry. This is the only one where I don't look scared...because it's weird and difficult smiling for a selfie.
