Đà Lạt

---

Đà Lạt is in the highlands, and has a Western-style climate. They grow lots of
vegetables, including things like broccoli. In Hanoi they put on sweaters when
the weather goes below body temperature, but in Đà Lạt you can really use one
when the sun goes down.

	The climb up to Đà Lạt The word "highlands" is not just a turn of phrase
	Local flower There are all kinds of flowering plants on the road up.
	Terraces for farming
	Miniature shrine A teeny, tiny temple that someone put up in the field
	*Ho house The Ho are local tribal people, who until recently didn't recognize the Vietnamese government. This is the head cabin. On the floor are amphorae with rựơu cần, a very strong rice wine. Behind them are gongs for music, and to the right are bagpipe contraptions, without the bag.
	*Ho house In one corner of the cabin is the kitchen.
	Ho longhouse This is where a number of families sleep. You have to be very forgiving when the place has no windows.
