Arriving in Hue

This is the scene on the approach into Hue's Phu Bai airport. Welcome to mountains, the blue seas and the intense, non-enhanced greens of central Vietnam! Hue like much of the US right now is having a heat wave, but it appears to be mostly over now.

Hue University's staff met us at the airport and greeted us with a bouquet of flowers and very nice compliments for Scuppy and Hong-Anh. Hue has recently upgraded the airport, though everyone's airconditioners appear to be on the fritz just like ours back home.

Today we met with Rector of the College of Foreign Languages, Tran Van Phuoc, and visited the classroom where our classes will be held for the next 5 weeks. HUCFL is in the process of moving from its current temporary location to a new campus 3 kilometers south at the foot of a nearby mountain, so in the future it should be more attractive for visiting classes.
