Buying phone cards is pretty much impossible here…I’m working on giving you guys a call at some point…went to the Mekong delta today…I was feeling pretty sick and gross the past few days, but I finally have my appetite back and am feeling better. We ended up having a great day even though the 3 hour bus ride was sketchy because we can’t speak Vietnamese. Oops. We made it there and back in one piece and it was totally worth it. it cost about $3.5 to take the bus each way. It was an experience, that’s for sure! I RODE MY FIRST MOTORCYCLE TODAY. IT WAS SWEET! I definitely wouldn’t ride one in the U.S., but here there’s tons more motorcycles than cars and it’s just the thing to do. Tomorrow (Wednesday) I’m going to ride another one to get to the War Remnants Museum. Hayley and I are going shopping in the morning, and then to the museum and to see a water puppet show in the afternoon. i’m hoping to stop at an internet café for an hour or so in the early evening to upload some pictures and blog and look up some info for my classes on the ship. It’s a little less than a dollar to spend 3 hours in one of the internet cafes, which is supposedly really fast too. We’ll see. No purchases today. On Thursday, we’re going to take a bus 2-3 hours out to some beaches – I’ve heard they’re really great and we met a young local guy at restaurant that told us which ones to go to. On Friday we’re going to pick up our dresses and then head to the Cu Chi Tunnels. I already know I want to come back to Vietnam because there’s so many places to go to even though it’s a fairly small country. Plus, everything is super cheap – including domestic airfare – so that just means I need to come back and explore some more! Darn it. is my cell phone going to work in Hawaii/san diego? Ben is spreading this awful rumor that we’re getting new phones sooner than anticipated because his is currently broken.
Allison, hard to believe what is the truth when you are so far away. What do you think about the puppies Claire and Dad found and brought home from Pittsburg? What do you think about us leaving Kallie and Ben when she was in heat. He just didn't have a clue about how to take care of her or about her being fertile at this time.
