We're up early the next morning to visit My Son, the ruins of the ancient Cham Empire, separated into three distinct parks. Before we enter, we watch a traditional Vietnamese art exhibition, in which groups of women dance with large yellow fans, while others move gracefully while carrying large clay jugs filled with water.
Of the three temple grounds, the first is the most impressive, a dozen copper temples sit in front of the imposing Cat Tooth mountain range. There are several museums on the temple grounds which exhibit centuries-old priceless artifacts, which are oddly not protected behind gates or glass. I'm fascinated by the site but Lauren and Harriet seem to be searching for the nearest gossip mag.
