Vacation in Vietnam, Part II: The City

We only spent a very short few days in Saigon, but wow, it made an impression on us.  I'd love to go back when the kids are older, or at least a lot better at crossing streets. 

Sidewalks are for losers.

 

Vacation in Vietnam, Part I: The Beach

I posted a ton of photos on Facebook of our trip to Vietnam over Christmas and New Year's, so I'll try to post some different ones here.  First of all, I just want to say that if you ever find yourself in Mui Ne, Vietnam, than stay at the Grace Boutique Resort.  It was the lovliest, family-run boutique ever.

Our time in Vietnam was dreamy.  The weather was perfect, the food amazing, the people friendly and welcoming, and the non-stop tropical fruit smoothies delightful.  I know for a certain generation of Americans, a vacation to Vietnam seems odd, but it is such a beautiful country that feels like it is really going places.  People are on the move, busy, getting stuff done. 

Our drive from Saigon to Mui Ne.  It wasn't far but took 5 hours.  Mostly because of scenes like this.

Technical Difficulties

We have not forgotten you dear readers.  We have much to share.  But the internet keeps bouncing and the China firewall keeps getting bigger and Blogspot won't let me post photos right now.  Aaagh. 

We're still alive and well (despite some crazy smog), and will post more soon.
