Viet Nam is famous for breath-taking sceneries, one of which I would like to visit is Ha Long Bay. Ha Long Bay is located in Quang Ninh province. The bay features thousands of limestone mountains and isles in various shapes and sizes. In 1994, the core zone of Ha Long Bay was listed as a World Heritage Site according to Criterion VII, and listed for a second time according to Criterion VIII. I want to visit Ha Long Bay to see beautiful scenery, try local food and other outdoors activities.

You won't believe what Jack and I did last weekend! We went to Cancun! We got there early Friday moming, checked in, and went straight to the beach. We went scuba diving all morning, and we relaxed on the beach and swam all afternoon. On Saturday, we went to Tulum, the Mayan ruins about two hours south of Cancun. On Sunday, we rented a sailboat and went then we went parasailing on the beach. It was a lot of fun! As soon as I came down from parasailing, we had to run to the hotel, check out, and get to the airport. We slept all the way home, but what wonderful three days!
Love,
