I returned to Hoi An two additional times, the last visit was 2017. Much has changed since this picture was taken. The UNESCO site has become one of the most visited towns in Vietnam and now caters to a growing tourist trade. Many of the old homes are unrecognizable, now hidden by hoards of merchandise for tourist. I was fortunate to have captured the two sisters in the early morning. They and their home represents the Vietnam I remembered in my early travels to this wonderful and friendly country.
