Finally found Leprosarium. The facilities have improved. It was only reached by a dirt road before. Now there is a new four-lane black top that goes near it from which a narrow blacktop leads to the insulated life provided by a Catholic order of French nuns. Road to the beach is flanked by trees whose lower trunks are covered with a white substance to keep crawling insects from climbing them. These are seen all over Vietnam. The beautiful beach that has been improved with a breakfront. Very quiet and peaceful. I am walking between rows of busts of famous people in medical science, starting with Hippocrates and includes Louis Pasteur and the Curies. One of the pictures shows residences of persons with leprosy.
