Our earliest remembrances of Orient are clearly depicted in a few of your photos. It was such a beautiful stretch of beach. I forget what gimmies the French offered for development there but the development of the late 80's pretty much ruined what we knew as Orient. I guess if we didn't have those 'back in the day' recollections we'd probably love it as much as so many today do, but I'm glad we have those memories.

Thank you so much for sharing your photos. Like you, we took so few......<img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
