On Sunday, Ba invited Liz to join his family on a day trip to his home
village about 60 kilometer to the north of Ha Noi. The village lies near
a 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 a chance
to travel the green paddy fields 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 twenty
minutes to visit Ba’s uncle. Then, they walk up the mountain to visit
the shrine of a Vietnamese hero and enjoy 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.
