He got back into the car and we hugged the building with millimeters to spare on either side. We held our breath and said some really loud Hail Marys. As we went by the gully, I took a picture. That would not have been very much fun. As they say, a good driver is worth his weight in gold.
In the summers I spend time with my good friends in Phat Diem, Vietnam, a small country village with a world famous cathedral. Here are some of my musings. If you would like to correspond, please email me: garymeegan@gmail.com.

The Drive to the Confirmation at Bach Lien
So here we are, nicely riding in our air conditioned car on our way to Bach Lien for a confirmation and the bridge is gone. Really, it's not there any more. So Hoa, our brave driver, decides that yes, we can make the left and hug the building to go around the site. Good Lord, I was scared. The second picture is Hoa looking down at the gully into the stream, strategizing about how to pull it off.
