Today is our last day in Vietnam. We leave for the airport at 4 am. It’ll take us about 30 hours or so to get back home. The strange part is leaving on Friday morning our time and arriving late Friday night US time, but traveling over 24 hours.
Deb and I have enjoyed walking the city streets as much as anything. I just can’t describe the sounds, the smells, the traffic, the “madam” being yelled over and over beckoning us to buy something. We’ve found the wiring system (or lack there of) hilarious. The frayed wires hanging low, bunched in bundles, there’s no organization at all. It would drive our husbands batty with the way their minds work! We’ve seen some funny kids on the streets too. One little boy playing with D batteries, his little sister (who we’ve seen a couple of times once with just a shirt over her naked body) eating yogurt with her hands, another baby being given a bath in a box on the side of the road. And it seems that every woman of child-baring ability is pregnant here.
