 home village about 60 kilometers to the north of Ha Noi. The 
 village lies near the foot of a mountain and by a river. Many people 
 go there on weekends to have a rest after a hard working week. 
5 The journey to the village is very interesting. People have the 
 chance to travel between 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 
10 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 thirty 
 minutes to visit Ba’s uncle. Then, they walked up the mountain to 
15 visit the shrine of a Vietnamese hero and enjoyed 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.
