Well, the big day was yesterday!! Wednesday August 20th 2008. Lyam is officially our son. We didn't write about this momentous event last night because we were really tired. It was a long day. After having waited all morning on Tuesday and finding out that we wouldn't go until 8AM the next morning. We left the ...

... of the beach for a little more than $4 dollars each. We ended up having to share a bed, but it was worth it for being so inexpensive. That afternoon we laid on the beach and were asked several times to have our pictures taken for souvenirs. We felt like famous movie stars. Vung Tau is more of a Vietnamese beach. The next morning we rented motorbikes and headed up the coastal road. We drove through ...

... et en plus le concept est genail, il prie boudha, conficius et jesus. Il maximise donc leur chancede venerer le bon. La ceremonie etait depaysante et leglise, un bijou pour les yeux.

... hours....fashionable little clothing shops are numerous....and the traffic on the streets never seems to let up. The streets of Saigon are overrun with motorbikes. I have never seen so many scooters and mopeds. The scooters outnumber cars on the order of 20 to 1 I'd estimate. There are only a handful of high-rise buildings, but new construction was underway all over the city. Vietnam is a former French colony and a bit of their legacy is evidenced in ...

... and interspersed with the traditional temples and the more modern structures, the city is a developing melting pot. And yet, of it all, the thing I love the most is the traffic. At any given moment, it can be as dense as the streets during a marathon, or three busses can be squeezed into a space no wider than two lanes and longer than two bus lengths. Yet, people still manage to brave the bicycle, sometimes with two or more on one bike, as ...

... to explore because of the course and I know there is so much more for me experience. The food is really good and sooo cheap. I had the best Thai food last night and I think dinner and a beer came to about $6. My instructor told me that nothing compares to the real thing though so I'm prepared to be blown away by the food in Thailand. I've been eating at a lot of Vegitarian places in the Pham Ngu Lau area, which is the backpackers area. The area is great for ...

... of us crossing the road. Good times! None of the group of us had trips scheduled for the first day so it was nice to get off the ship and just explore with no time constraints. We had a little discussion about traveling in the group around town today and ultimately decided that the girls would kill the boys or vice versa so we traveled separately - the four girls and the six boys. Well five boyrs, Matt got two hours dock time for being late in the last port. We got some great ...

... outdoor lounge chairs led to indoor dining tables and the occasional pool table. Outside, sleepy locals dangled lazily from hamocks sleeping away the mid-day sun. Finally arriving at our first destination, Top vision, I was happy to abandon the van and stretch my legs in the blazing Vietnamese Sun. Here we were walked through a LARGE showroom where ten years of frame ideas waited quietly on the shelves. As the design team shopped the collection, David, Cristin ...
