On Sunday, Ba invited Liz to join his family on a day trip to his home village about 60 kilometers to the north of Ha Noi. The village lies near the foot of a mountain and by a river. Many people go there on the weekends to have a rest after a hard-working week.
The journey to the village is very interesting. People have the chance to travel between the green paddy field and cross a small bamboo forest before they reach a big old banyan tree at the entrance to the village.
Liz met Ba’s family at his house early in the morning , and after two hours traveling by bus, they reached the big old tree. Everyone felt tired and hungry, so they sat down under the tree and had a snack.
After the meal, they started to walk into the village for about thirty minutes to visit Ba’s uncle. Then, they walked up the mountain to visit a shrine of a Vietnamese hero and enjoyed the fresh air there. In the afternoon, they went boating in the river and had a picnic on the river bank before going home late in the evening. It was an enjoyable day. Liz took a lot of photos to show the trip to her parents.
“ I wish I could visit your village again some day,” Liz told Ba. “You’ll always be welcome here, Liz,” Ba replied.
