Vietnam, Land of Surprises

Vietnam is fast, slow, traditional, cutting edge, exotic and familiar, and most of all...accessible.

On Monday, more than 200 Fort Myers residents took a cinematic voyage to the Southeast Asian nation of Vietnam as part of our 2007 Travelogue series. Our journey included stops in bustling Saigon and historical Hoi An, excursions to floating markets and cloth merchants, and a trip along the Mekong Delta.

Hosted by the Broadway Palm, both ECHO and Habitat for Humanity benefited from the proceeds. Some members of the ECHO family were spotted in the crowd.
