Close to the shores of Mui Ne, and about a ten minute motorbike ride from Mai Am, there lies a hidden glory. The Fairy stream is apparently a lovely spot that a lot of people check out and I'll be honest, with a name like 'fairy' I was judging fast! Nothing against fairies just...such a forced name to sound whimsical. Anyways, Ani and I decided to check this place out and as I was winding through a dirty rotten cluster of broken houses and twirling through paths...I knew something must be coming.
I was right...

At first these very young boys were following us and then stopping once we stopped, realizing this would be a "pay me for the tour" post wander...I told them to go play and...well, they scurried. eeek...
On the wander, kids gone, we crossed paths with a feeble and meek woman collecting blades of dry grass...

I felt sorry that she was poor, but no matter the circumstance, when you start asking strangers to give you cash, I find it a bit disrespectful. I know that is offensive to say and seems cold--

A wedding was happening in Mui Ne that day and we stumbled upon the photo shoot!

Under some young coconut trees, I felt like a child again...feet full of clay, cool water slipping by my ankles, a dear friend to giggle with...
