Up in the air

One of the most wonderful places that the travel agent took us to in Vietnam was The Red River. Having enjoyed the river we had more breathtaking sights.

This time it was THE PURPLE GARDEN.

This was not natural but of course, created in the most surprising manner. You just reach the other side of the river and on the banks, you walk and see some flowers, fruits, and honey.

Then you are packed in autos of three people each and driven around. Suddenly out of the clearing you see wobbly stairs. They were high and all purple.

Some of us adventurous people climbed like I did. Wow! I felt so much freedom. I felt carefree and in the rush of a sudden ray of happiness, I closed my eyes and shouted out Wow! This is life! My life!

Someone shouted from below. I am taking your photo. Please remember you can fall and have an accident. Please do not lose your balance.

Still, I was in a trance. I smiled and carelessly I opened my arms. I felt really happy as though I was not in this world. My photo above bears testimony to my feelings.
